The prime minister was referring to Singh’s recent meeting with Union National and Cooperatives Minister Amit Shah, at the Union Cooperative Conference held on July 1. Loyalty to the RJD.” Deputy CM Tejashwi Prasad Yadav reportedly intervened in the matter and calmed the mood.
At a meeting of MLAs and MLCs belonging to the six-party Mahagathbandhan at the Bihar Legislature building before the start of the session, Kumar reportedly chose to target Singh.
Sources said the prime minister scolded Singh for making “illogical remarks” over the past few days.
He also told Prime Minister Singh that he was aware of his meeting with BJP leader Amit Shah. “It bothered him if he wanted to join the Bharatiya Janata Party and compete in the Lok Sabha polls,” said one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting.
After the statement, the source said, Singh got up from his chair and responded saying that no one can “question his integrity and loyalty to the AKM”.

Singh later told reporters, “It is true that I met Amit Shahji during a meeting of the All India Cooperative Conference. I had duly posted her pictures in my social media posts. It was not a closed meeting. As Union Minister for Cooperation, Shah is in a way ALSO THE CHIEF OF BISCOMAUN”.
