In 2013, despite being a BJP legislator Avaneesh Kumar Singh had opposed Narendra Modi's candidature as Prime Ministerial candidate and had supported Nitish Kumar due to which the BJP suspended him for anti-party activities.[1][2] He joined Janata Dal (United) with his supporters and was given ticket to contest to 2014 Lok Sabha election from Purvi Champaran.[3] However he came a distant third and even failed to save his deposit.
