JD(U) Also Expels Anant Singh’s Wife
The party has also expelled Anant Singh’s wife, Neelam Devi, a former MLA from Mokama, for six years. The action against both leaders comes amid allegations of indiscipline and activities against the party’s interests.
Over the past several days, Anant Singh had repeatedly made statements against the JD(U). He also sought votes for Jan Suraaj’s candidate against JD(U) MLC candidate Neeraj Singh and appealed to voters to ensure the former’s victory.
Party Cites Indiscipline, Anti-Party Activities
According to the JD(U), Anant Singh campaigned against its candidate and openly supported the nominee of another party. The party termed this serious indiscipline and anti-party activity, leading to the decision to expel him.
After the elections, JD(U) national president and former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had visited Neeraj Kumar at his residence. The meeting was seen as a sign that the party leadership stood firmly behind Neeraj Kumar.
The action against Anant Singh and Neelam Devi now signals the JD(U) leadership’s strict stance on cases of indiscipline.
The party’s order also stated that it would recommend to the Bihar Assembly Speaker that Anant Singh’s membership of the Legislative Assembly be cancelled under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
