Patna, Aug 12 (TheBiharPost/IBNS): In a first major action against rebel party MP Sharad Yadav, the JD-U leadership on Saturday replaced him by RCP Singh as new parliamentary party leader in the Rajya Sabha.

The party  handed over a formal letter to vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu, informing him that from now on Singh would replace Yadav as parliamentary party leader in the RS.


“Met Vice President & gave in writing that we have elected RCP Singh as our leader in Rajya Sabha,” state JD-U president Vashishtha Narayan Singh was quoted as telling news agency ANI.

“(We are taking) Necessary step because being leader if a person indulges in anti-party activities it has to be condemned unanimously,” Singh added.

Yadav is currently leading a campaign against the party in Bihar against Nitish Kumar’s move to from Government with BJP support after pulling out of the Grand Alliance with the RJD and Congress..

He is at presently on three-day tour of Bihar to seek people’s opinion before  he takes the next step. He has termed Kumar’s move as a “betrayal with people’s mandate”.
