RCP Singh denied allegations of having acted against the JD(U)'s interests at BJP's behest in the last assembly polls in 2020.
Former JD(U) national president RCP Singh, who was in the eye of a political storm in Bihar, on Thursday said he was keeping "all options open", including a formal entry into the BJP.
The former Union minister also lashed out at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for the latest political u-turn that saw the de facto JD(U) leader dumping the BJP and realigning with the "Mahagathbandhan" of the RJD, Congress, and the Left.
"I have all options open", said Mr Singh, and when pointedly asked whether he would like to join the BJP, he quipped "why not?"
The bureaucrat turned politician, who had to give up his ministerial berth upon denial of another Rajya Sabha term by the JD(U), maintained that Mr Kumar, the de facto leader of the party, "will not become the prime minister even if he were to be reborn seven times".
