A resident of Rohtas district of Bihar, 49-year old Singh is presently the Sangthan Mantri (organising general secretary) of BJP’s Jharkhand unit. A full-time RSS pracharak, Singh was deputed to BJP around a decade back. Last time, the BJP did not contest Dinara seat as it went to alliance partner JD(U) under seat-sharing arrangement. Jay Kumar Singh of JD(U) had won this seat in 2010 Assembly elections.
