Bidhuri expelled

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI NOV. 21 . In a clear setback to the Third Front in Delhi, the Lok Janshakti Party president, Ram Vilas Paswan, today expelled its senior vice-president, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, from the party for "anti-party activities". It also decided not to support candidates of the Nationalist Congress Party in the Delhi Assembly polls. Incidentally, Mr. Bidhuri happens to be the Chairman of the Third Front in Delhi of which Lok Janshakti Party is also a part.

According to the Lok Janshakti Party Delhi unit president, Lalit Kumar Gautam, the decision to expel Mr. Bidhuri was taken at the meeting of the party's Central Committee held here today under the leadership of Mr. Paswan. He said Mr. Bidhuri had opted to contest from the Badarpur Assembly constituency on the NCP symbol despite being a member of the Lok Janshakti Party amounting to indiscipline. He said the NCP had also indulged in breach of trust by allotting the watch symbol to Mr. Bidhuri without taking the Lok Janshakti Party leadership into confidence. The decision to expel Mr. Bidhuri is certainly going to hurt the Third Front's chances of establishing itself in the Capital.
