Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) Expels Spokesperson Ajay Alok, 3 Others From Party

Alok was perceived to be close to Ram Chandra Prasad Singh, the JD(U)’s former national president.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s ruling Janata Dal (United) expelled several office bearers, including spokesperson Ajay Alok, from the primary membership of the party on Tuesday, 14 June.

Alok’s order of expulsion, besides Anil Kumar and Vipin Kumar Yadav, both state general secretaries, was passed by state president Umesh Kushwaha.

Alok was perceived to be extremely close to Ram Chandra Prasad Singh, the JD(U)’s former national president, who fell out of favour with Nitish Kumar, the party’s de facto chief.
