Shakuni Choudhary (born 4 January 1936) is an Indian politician who is a founding member of Samata Party.[1][2] He was elected to the Lok Sabha, lower house of the Parliament of India from Khagaria Lok Sabha constituency as member of the Samata Party.[3][4][5] Choudhary has been known for political defection and has remained Deputy Speaker in the Bihar Legislative Assembly.
He was a former loyal to the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) but left the party on the ground of it promoting the interest of Lalu Prasad Yadav's family. The defection happened soon after his son Samrat Choudhary orchestrated a split in RJD by alienating thirteen MLAs to seek recognition as separate splinter group.[6][7]
