In the letter of expulsion, Singh has been charged with “anti-party activities” and “indiscipline” and reprimanded for “tarnishing the party’s reputation by contesting against the NDA’s authorized candidate (adhikrit pratyashi).

Despite repeated attempts, Singh could not be reached for comments on the development. The belated action, from the party, comes with just over a week left before voting takes place in Karakat on June 1.
