Citing Rule 11(2)(1) of the Patna Central Pool Accommodation Rules, 1986, it says that “the permissible period for retaining the accommodation after the termination of the position is only one month”. The letter adds that this period ends on November 25, 2026, and requests her to vacate the premises by then.Devi had reportedly been inducted into the committee on March 16, 2024, when she was an MLA from Mokama. She had switched from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) to the JD(U) ahead of the February 2024 Assembly trust vote and voted in support of the Nitish Kumar government. She continued to hold the committee position after the change of government under Samrat Choudhary.Kushwaha, speaking to reporters after visiting the Assembly on Monday, said the party had submitted its recommendation to the Assembly Speaker on Sunday seeking action against Singh’s membership.“We submitted the letter to the Assembly Speaker yesterday seeking action to terminate his membership. I came today to find out what action had been taken,” Kushwaha said. He added that he had spoken to the Assembly Secretary, who informed him that the process was under way. “The action is underway. A notice and other formalities are being processed. Quick action will be taken,” he said.Story continues below this adThe JD(U) has accused Singh of campaigning for Jan Suraaj Party candidate Anuj Kumar against its nominee, Neeraj Kumar, in the Patna Graduates’ constituency election to the Bihar Legislative Council.
