Action against rebel JD(U) leaders, who worked against the party during the recently concluded Assembly elections, on Saturday kickstarted with the disciplinary committee issuing notices to dissenters and accepting the resignation of senior leader Upendra Kushwaha from the post of general secretary. Bihar ruling party’s disciplinary committee has issued notices to around 300 party rebels, including MPs, MLAs and MLCs for alleged anti-party activities during recent Assembly polls in Bihar.
“We have issued notices to about 300 party rebels, including 30 MPs, MLAs and MLCs asking them to explain their position before the disciplinary committee for their indulgence in anti-party activities,” the disciplinary committee’s chairman Gyanendra Singh informed.
The JD(U) leader said the committee had gone into the complaints against the rebels for working against the official nominees of the party before deciding to issue the notices.
“We have asked them to appear individually before the committee on the dates mentioned in the notices to explain their position,” he added.
Confirming the names of former JD(U)’s Bihar unit president Rajiv Ranjan Singh (Lalan) and Rajya Sabha member Upendra Kushwaha, state unit president Bashishtha Narayan Singh said, “It is unfortunate that there are few party leaders who acted against the party’s interests despite holding respectable positions in the party... We are not going to tolerate such activities and will take suitable action against them.”
