Summary
In the Bihar assembly elections, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) dismissed 27 leaders on Monday for engaging in anti-party actions and disobeying the party's principles. These leaders included two MLAs, four former lawmakers, and an MLC.
RJD state chairman Mangani Lal Mandal said in a statement that the leaders who were expelled were also barred from the party's main membership.
