The JD(U) on Saturday removed Sharad Yadav as the party's leader in Rajya Sabha, citing "anti-party activities" by the senior leader as the reason behind the dismissal.
"(The move) was important due to Yadav's recent actions. It was a necessary step because being a leader, if a person indulges in anti-party activities, it has to be condemned unanimously," Bihar JD(U) president Vashishtha Narayan told ANI.
He further confirmed that Yadav has been replaced by Bihar MP RCP Singh and party legislators met Rajya Sabha Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu to hand him a letter appointing Singh as the leader of the JD(U) in the upper house.
