“We will soon issue a show cause notice to Sadhu Yadav seeking his explanation why he should not be expelled from the party,” he said.

Sharma’s announcement,however,did not find favour with the AICC in-charge of party affairs in Bihar Jagdish Tytler who disapproved of it.

“Sadhu Yadav should have been given time to explain his conduct before taking disciplinary action. It seems to be an unilateral decision and I will speak to Sharma on it,” Tytler said when approached for comment after he arrived from New Delhi.

Sadhu Yadav,brother-in-law of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad,on his part said,”I have not said anything on the issue. Since the assembly elections are around the corner some vested interests in the party are playing dirty politics to malign me.”
