N.K. Singh, a JD(U) MP, on Friday quit the party amidst indications that he would join BJP.

73-year-old Singh, a former bureaucrat whose term in the Rajya Sabha is coming to an end shortly, had joined the JD(U) and was elected on the party ticket to the house of elders.

He has written a letter to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar conveying his decision to quit and the reasons for it but refused to disclose them.

Mr. Singh expressed disappointment over the current situation in Bihar, saying ever since JD(U) broke ties with BJP last year the issue of development has taken a back seat.

He said he had told the Chief Minister that his government was now more focussed on political survival rather than development of the State.

Mr. Singh said he had joined the JD(U) at a time when the government was involved in spectacular work on the matrix of development in Bihar.
