KC Tyagi, a senior JDU leader, has distanced himself from the party. He himself gave this information by issuing a letter on Tuesday (March 17, 2026). Now his first reaction has come out. He has told why he is separating from JDU.
Speaking to PTI, KC Tyagi said, “We have been together for 50 years… This time when the party’s membership campaign was held, I did not renew my membership… but the relations are as they are.”

KC Tyagi, in response to a question, said that on March 22, I am going to meet with my colleagues and well-wishers at Mavalankar Hall in Delhi. Will make further announcement on the same day. KC Tyagi said, “The relationship has not deteriorated at all… Actually, Nitish Kumar, the last leader of the socialist movement, was left. Now he is coming to Delhi from Bihar politics. Then the number of old friends has reduced… I have less of that kind of positive and active role left there (JDU). Now I want to make myself active in UP also.”
Tyagi said, “We did politics together in Jai Prakash ji’s movement, then in Janata Party, Lok Dal and then under the leadership of Karpuri ji. I have not resigned, I have not taken part in the campaign for membership of the party…”
Have demanded Bharat Ratna for Nitish Kumar
Let us tell you that KC Tyagi had been in JDU for a long time. Just a few months ago, he had demanded to give Bharat Ratna to Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The party’s national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan had clearly said at that time that even the party leaders and workers do not know whether KC Tyagi is in JDU or not. Now in a way, KC Tyagi has taken a different path.
