Overview
- R.K. Singh resigned from the BJP within hours of receiving a suspension and show-cause notice, sending his letter to party president J.P. Nadda.
- The Bihar BJP’s notice accused him of anti-party activities, suspended him, and gave him one week to explain why he should not be expelled.
- In his resignation letter, Singh said the notice did not specify charges and argued his calls to reject candidates with criminal backgrounds were in the party’s and public interest.
- Coverage varied on whether he was expelled for six years or suspended pending a reply, but his immediate exit is confirmed across reports.
- The party also suspended MLC Ashok Agarwal and Katihar Mayor Usha Agarwal for backing their son’s VIP candidacy, signaling a broader post-victory discipline push following the NDA’s landslide in Bihar.
