Mokama MLA Anant Singh has been expelled from the JDU for a period of six years. Furthermore, JDU has recommended the cancellation of his assembly membership for allegedly campaigning against the party’s candidate in the recently concluded Bihar Legislative Council elections. The party has recommended to the speaker of the Bihar Legislative Assembly to terminate Singh as a MLA under the Tenth Schedule of the Indian Constitution. Anant Singh’s wife - Neelam Devi has also been expelled from the party over her alleged involvement in anti-party activities.
In a post on X, the party said, "As per the orders of JD(U) state president Umesh Singh Kushwaha, Mokama MLA Anant Kumar Singh has been involved in anti-party activities, violation of party guidelines. Due to his disregard for party directives, as well as his campaigning in favour of the opposition party—and against the party’s own candidate—in the recently concluded Legislative Council elections, his primary membership of the JD(U) is hereby cancelled.
Additionally, former Legislative Assembly member Neelam Devi has been expelled from the party for the next six years, with her primary party membership revoked due to her involvement in anti-party activities. This order shall come into effect immediately."
