Overview

  • Vibha Devi (Nawada) and Prakash Veer (Rajauli) were seated in the back row on the dais at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally at Magadh University in Gaya.
  • An RJD spokesperson said both MLAs had been expelled for anti‑party activity, though Indian Express reported no formal expulsion order had been issued.
  • Both legislators told Indian Express they had official invitations and rejected talk of switching sides, noting the event launched projects worth nearly ₹13,000 crore.
  • BJP MP Vivek Thakur said all MPs and MLAs from the area, irrespective of party, were invited to the government programme.
  • The episode lands ahead of the Bihar assembly polls after earlier RJD defections, with local dynamics including Vibha Devi’s husband Raj Ballabh Yadav’s recent acquittal shaping loyalties.
