BJP Cracks Down on Rebel Voices in Bihar Post-Election Victory

Patna, Bihar – Just a day after securing a victory in the Bihar elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has initiated disciplinary action against several prominent leaders accused of anti-party activities. Former Union Minister RK Singh, Legislative Council member Ashok Agarwal, and Katihar Mayor Usha Agarwal have all been suspended and issued show-cause notices, demanding an explanation for their conduct within a week.

The notices, issued by Bihar BJP state headquarters in-charge Arvind Sharma, accuse the leaders of “indulging in anti-party activities” that have “caused harm to the party.” Sources within the BJP suggest that the suspensions are likely a precursor to expulsion.

RK Singh, a veteran politician and former MP from Arrah, had already resigned from the primary membership of the party. He has been a vocal critic of the BJP and the Bihar government since his defeat in the 2024 elections. Singh has publicly questioned the NDA leadership and the credibility of some of its candidates.

Singh’s criticism has particularly targeted Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and BJP Bihar chief Dilip Jaiswal. Following corruption allegations made by Prashant Kishor against the two leaders, Singh accused them of damaging the party’s image and called for their clarification. He has also accused Choudhary and Jaiswal of having ties to criminal elements.

The disciplinary action signals the BJP’s intent to maintain strict party discipline following the election results. The party will be expected to make decisions about the future of the leaders soon.
