Patna,(BiharTimes): Janata Dal (United) president, Sharad Yadav, accepted the resignation of Rajya Sabha MP, Upendra Kushwaha, from the post of the party general secretary four months after he sent his papers.
Kushwaha, a senior Koeri leader of the party had tendered his resignation in September last year, alleging that dedicated party workers had been denied nominations in the Assembly polls.

Sharad had refrained from accepting his resignation then as he felt that this would antagonize his castemen on the eve of Assembly election. The resignation was accepted as Kushwaha finally refused to take back his papers.
Meanwhile, the party has issued showcause notice to 12 MPs and MLCs besides over 250 other partymen for indulging in anti-party activities during the elections.
It asked the MPs and MLCs to appear before the party’s disciplinary committee on January 27 and 29. Some MPs have raised questions on the authority of the state’s disciplinary committee to the MPs.
Those issued showcause notice include Mangani Lal Mandal, Capt. Jai Narayan Nishad, (both EBC), Monazir Hasan, Sushil Kumar Singh, Lallan Singh and Upendra Kushwaha.
But the MPs questioned the status of the present state JD (U) president Basishtha Narayan Singh in the party under whom the disciplinary committee operates. He joined the JD (U) on the eve of the Assembly elections when he failed to get an RJD ticket. Besides, he had openly campaigned for the RJD during the by-elections on the Bikramganj Lok Sabha seat. How can a leader who has violated the discipline, issue a disciplinary whip against the party leaders, the asked.
