In a statement issued by JD(U)’s Bihar unit president Umesh Singh Kushwaha, it has been said that Anant Singh did not follow the party’s instructions. He is also accused of using abusive language against top party leaders and campaigning in support of the opposition candidate.
Anant Singh had supported Jan Suraj Party’s candidate Anuj Singh in the recently held Bihar Legislative Council elections. He also campaigned in favor of Anuj Singh and talked about defeating JDU Legislative Council member Neeraj Kumar. This was considered by the party as indiscipline and anti-party activity. After this, expulsion action was taken against Anant Singh.
Anant Singh’s MLA has also been recommended for dissolution.
The JDU has also recommended to the Bihar Assembly Speaker to terminate Anant Singh’s membership of the assembly. The party has cited the 10th Schedule of the Constitution for this. This Schedule deals with matters relating to defection. However, the final decision on assembly membership will be taken under the relevant constitutional process.
Neelam Devi’s membership also terminated

Anant Singh’s family has been influential in Mokama for a long time
