The JD(U) party is pushing for the disqualification of expelled Mokama MLA Anant Singh under the anti-defection law, according to reports. State president Umesh Kushwaha visited the Bihar Assembly to seek an update on the party's petition for Singh's removal. The party submitted a 10-page dossier and a video on October 24 alleging Singh's anti-party activities.
Kushwaha accused Singh of campaigning against the JD(U)'s official candidate and participating in nomination-related activities that supported a rival candidate. He also alleged that Singh made objectionable remarks against the party's senior leadership and acted against its organizational interests. Anant Singh, in response, announced his plan to form an independent political party after his expulsion from the JD(U).
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari stated that every political party has the right to make its own decisions. Meanwhile, Bihar's government removed Anant Singh's wife, Neelam Devi, from her position at the Patna District 20-Point Programme Implementation Committee and withdrew her Minister of State rank. The construction department also ordered her to vacate her official government residence by November 25.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav claimed that his party had neither extended an invitation nor made any proposal to Anant Singh, alleging that three of their MLAs who supported the government had betrayed the RJD.
