JDU expels Amit Prakash after Anant Singh as Bihar MLC election tensions deepen.

Janata Dal United has expelled its youth state secretary Amit Prakash for 6 years over alleged anti-party activity ahead of the Bihar Legislative Council election. The action came after the party took similar disciplinary action against Anant Singh.

JDU said Amit Prakash worked against its NDA-backed candidate in the Patna Graduate constituency and campaigned for a candidate from another party. His removal includes the cancellation of his primary party membership with immediate effect.

The action was taken by Nitish Patel, president of the youth wing's Bihar unit. The party's decision removes Amit Prakash from his organisational and bars him from the party for 6 years.

Action follows Anant Singh's expulsion

JDU had earlier expelled Anant Singh for 6 years. The move followed his campaign against the party's authorised candidate, Neeraj Kumar, in the MLC election.

According to the report, Singh also made statements that were viewed as defiance of the party leadership. JDU's action came after its leadership's displeasure over his conduct had continued to grow.

The party's disciplinary steps come before the Bihar Legislative Council election and indicate that JDU is taking a strict position on activities it considers to be against its candidates. The source material does not identify any further leaders facing action.

Singh has not publicly responded to his expulsion so far. However, his supporters celebrated outside his home in Mokama after the party announced the decision. They burst firecrackers, signalling support for him despite his silence.

The report also says Singh had continued campaigning against Neeraj Kumar, creating an uncomfortable situation for the party leadership. JDU had reportedly given him a message and an opportunity to change his position, but the dispute did not appear to end.

What the party's orders mean

Amit Prakash's case involves both removal from office and cancellation of primary membership. Singh's case involves expulsion from JDU for 6 years after his reported opposition to the party's authorised candidate.

The two actions share a connection with the MLC election, but the material provided does not state whether the party will take action against anyone else. It also does not include a response from Amit Prakash.

Conclusion

JDU has expelled Amit Prakash for 6 years after accusing him of campaigning against its NDA-backed candidate, following the earlier action against Anant Singh. The party's next disciplinary steps, if any, are not specified.
