The Janata Dal (United), or JD(U), has officially expelled politician Anant Singh and his wife from the party. The decision follows reports that Singh, a former gang leader turned politician, actively supported a candidate from the Jan Suraaj Party, Anuj Singh, during the ongoing Bihar legislative council elections.

According to party leadership, the expulsion is a direct response to the couple's decision to defy internal directives. By campaigning for a rival party's candidate, the leadership argued that Singh and his wife violated party discipline. Anant Singh has not yet issued a formal public rebuttal regarding the specific claims of defiance, though his actions in the lead-up to the election have been characterized by local observers as a virtual revolt against the JD(U) establishment. The expulsion marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the region, as Singh has long been a prominent, if controversial, figure in Bihar politics. The party has maintained that the disciplinary action was necessary to preserve institutional integrity during the election cycle.
