Amid the intensifying political fervor surrounding the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United) has taken a stern stand by immediately expelling 11 key leaders accused of anti-party activities.
These include former ministers, ex-MLAs, and Legislative Council members who refused to back the party's official candidates and instead pursued independent candidacies, undermining organizational unity. Boat BassHeads 100 in-Ear Headphones with Mic (Black)
State General Secretary Chandan Kumar Singh announced the decision via X (formerly Twitter), citing the leaders' violations of party ideology and discipline in an official letter.
Nitish Kumar had previously warned against such indiscipline during the election season, stressing that it would not be tolerated. Party insiders describe the purge as a strategic move to bolster internal cohesion and solidify ties with NDA allies, ensuring a focused campaign.Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah, District In-Charge Minister to Visit Dakshina Kannada Tomorrow
