Former JD(U) leader Ajay Alok on Friday joined Bharatiya Janata Party, in the presence of Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, in Delhi. He was suspended from the primary membership of the JD(U) last year due to anti-party activities. The ruling Janata Dal (United) in Bihar expelled its spokesperson Ajay Alok from the primary membership of the party last year. Besides Ajay Alok, JD(U) also suspended state general secretaries Anil Kumar and Vipin Kumar Yadav from primary membership.

"Party's state general secretaries Anil Kumar and Vipin Yadav and spokesperson Ajay Alok are relieved of their posts and suspended from the party's primary membership. Party leader Jitendra Neeraj is also being suspended from the primary membership of the party. This decision has been taken to strengthen the party and maintain discipline in the party," Bihar JD (U) chief Umesh Singh Kushwaha told reporters, as quoted by the news agency ANI.

For the last few months, there were complaints about running programmes against the interests of the party and misleading the workers. Some office-bearers were asked to refrain from such actions, but despite this, anti-party activities continued," the statement said, as quoted by ANI.

Following his expulsion, Ajay Alok thanked the party for relieving him and gave his best wishes to the party. "Badi der kar di meherbaan aate aate. I am thankful to the party for relieving me. It was a long association with the party and was a good experience. All my best wishes with you," said Ajay.

Earlier in February, Upendra Kushwaha had quit Janata Dal (United) and resigned from all party positions. He had launched a new political party 'Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal'. Kushwaha announced the name of his party - Rashtriya Lok Janata Dal and said that he was made its national president.
