Muzaffarpur: Janata Dal (United) leader RCP Singh on Saturday announced his exit from the party after the party sought a reply on corruption allegations. Singh suggested he would form his own party at a press conference in Mustafapur in Bihar`s Muzaffarpur.

Singh`s resignation came after the party sent a notice to him over corruption allegations. JD (U) issued a show-cause notice to RCP Singh over 'discrepancies' in immovable properties and he was asked to file his reply at the earliest.
