Anant Singh's big rebellion after JD(U) expulsion: 'Party is finished', vows own political outfit
On Sunday, October 25, 2026, Mokama MLA Anant Singh announced plans to form a new political party following his expulsion from the Janata Dal .
Bihar JDU State President Umesh Singh Kushwaha expelled Singh on Saturday for violating party directives, including campaigning for Jan Suraaj Party candidate Anuj Singh against official nominee Neeraj Kumar in Legislative Council elections.
Simultaneously, the party expelled former MLA Neelam Devi for six years for anti-party activities; officials recommended cancelling Singh's assembly membership under the Constitution's Tenth Schedule.
Criticizing current leadership, Singh claimed the Janata Dal is "finished" and will struggle to secure "even 10 seats" in forthcoming elections, while maintaining loyalty to former Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Singh has not yet confirmed a name, organizational structure, or launch date for his new political platform. Details will emerge during elections, he told reporters.
