New Delhi/Patna:
The BJP has turned its focus to its rebel leaders in Bihar a day after winning the state elections. Former Union Minister RK Singh, a senior politician from Bihar, is among three leaders who have been suspended for anti-party activities. The other two facing party action are Legislative Council member Ashok Agarwal and Katihar Mayor Usha Agarwal. Singh resigned from the primary membership of the party soon after being pulled up over his conduct.
Bihar BJP’s state headquarters in-charge Arvind Sharma issued a notice to the leaders this morning, informing them of their suspension and asking them to explain within a week why they shouldn’t be expelled from the party.
“You are indulging in anti-party activities. This falls within the scope of discipline. The party has taken this seriously. This has caused harm to the party. Therefore, as directed, you are being suspended from the party and asked to explain why you should not be expelled from the party. Therefore, please clarify your position within a week of receiving this letter,” read the show-cause notice sent to Singh and the Agarwals.
