According to former Union Minister Nagmani's wikipedia profile, he has changed political parties a record eleven times. He did it once again on Saturday by rejoining the JD(U) to complete the dozen count. You need a computer to track the ever changing political affiliation of former Union Minister Nagmani, says Congress leader Prof Arun Kumar Prasad.

Nagmani, it may be recalled, was baptized into politics in the Shoshit Samaj Dal floated by his father and former deputy CM the late Jagdeo Prasad. He took the first try in political jumping by joining the Congress. Not only did Nagmani join Congress, he also adopted his father's bete noire, the late Ramashray Prasad Singh as his (Nagmani's) mentor in the Congress politics.

From then onwards Nagmani has never looked back. Nagmani's political itinerary reads like this; SSD-Congress-JD-RJD-BJP-LJP-JD(U)-RJD-Congress-NCP-RLSP-JD(U). There is no mainstream party in Bihar which at one point or the other has not played host to the party hopper. He has twice been in the RJD and Congress. This is his second innings in JD(U) as well.
