On October 26, the Janata Dal (United) expelled 16 leaders, including Gopalpur MLA Narendra Neeraj alias Gopal Mandal, former MLA Maheshwar Prasad Yadav, former MLC Sanjeev Shyam Singh, and former minister Himraj Singh. Mandal had protested outside CM's residence following denial of ticket and filed nomination as independent.
