JD(U) Expels MLA Anant Singh and Neelam Devi Over Anti-Party Activities
The Janata Dal (United) has expelled Mokama MLA Anant Singh and his wife, former MLA Neelam Devi, from the party for a period of six years. The expulsion follows allegations of anti-party activities during the recent Bihar Legislative Council elections.
The Janata Dal (United), led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has officially expelled Mokama MLA Anant Singh and his wife, Neelam Devi, from the party. The leadership cited their involvement in anti-party activities during the recent Bihar Legislative Council elections as the primary reason for the decision. The expulsion is set to remain in effect for six years.
Following the announcement, Anant Singh publicly criticized the party leadership, specifically targeting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Singh stated, "Nitish Kumar is gone, so is JDU," suggesting that the party has lost its way or its foundational integrity. The move marks a significant shift in the political landscape of the Mokama region, as Singh has been a prominent and often controversial figure in Bihar politics for years. The JD(U) has not yet provided a detailed breakdown of the specific actions that led to the charges of anti-party conduct, but the decision reflects a broader effort by the party to consolidate discipline ahead of future electoral cycles.
