JD(U) Expels Verma, Kishore For Anti-Party Activities

Janata Dal (U) leaders — Prashant Kishor and Pavan K Varma — were expelled from the party for allegedly indulging in ‘anti-party activities’ on Wednesday.

The decision comes close on the heels of Kishor and Varma repeatedly questioning Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led party’s stand on the newly enacted citizenship law — CAA.

Varma had also questioned the JDU’s alliance with the BJP in Delhi Assembly polls while Kishor has more than once made his differences with the party known on the issue of CAA and NRC.

Earlier, JDU supremo Kumar had said that they should go wherever they want.

(ANI): “Thank you Nitish Kumar,” said Prashant Kishor on Wednesday shortly after the JDU expelled him along with Pavan Varma for allegedly indulging in “anti-party” activities.

“Thank you Nitish Kumar. My best wishes to you to retain the chair of Chief Minister of Bihar. God bless you,” Kishor tweeted while taking a jibe at the JDU’s alliance with the BJP.

The expulsion of Kishor and Varma comes after both the leaders repeatedly questioned Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led party’s stand on the newly enacted citizenship law — CAA.

Varma had also questioned the JDU’s alliance with the BJP in Delhi Assembly polls while Kishor has more than once made his differences with the party known on the issue of CAA and NRC.
