Two days after expelling Mokama MLA Anant Singh from the party for “anti-party activities”, Janata Dal (United) State president Umesh Kushwaha on Monday (October 26, 2026) visited the office of the Assembly Speaker to ask about action on the party’s earlier request to rescind his membership from the House. He was assured of “quick action”.

The NDA Government on Monday also removed Mr. Singh’s wife, former MLA Neelam Devi, from the Government’s 20-point programme committee, and later asked her to vacate her official bungalow in Patna by November 25, 2026.

“We had submitted evidence against his (Anant Singh’s) anti-party activities to the Speaker’s office on Sunday, October 25. Today I had come to know the status of action on our request to rescind Mr. Singh’s membership of the House, but since Speaker Prem Kumar was not in the office, the Assembly secretary assured me that quick action will be taken,” Mr. Kushwaha told journalists on the Assembly premises.
