Hindustan Times  

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday removed state cabinet minister and founding chief of Vikassheel Insaan Party Mukesh Sahani, who was brought into the NDA ahead of the last assembly elections by the BJP. According to news agency PTI, Nitish Kumar recommended Sahani's expulsion from the cabinet to the governor in the evening, hours after the minister for fishery and animal husbandry was given the ultimatum to withdraw forthwith a recent notification. State BJP spokesman Arvind Kumar Singh said in a statement “our Bihar unit chief had asked Sahani, who seems hell-bent upon stabbing those in the back who healed his wounds, to mend his ways. Sahani is a former Bollywood set designer who had entered the BJP's bad books after he repeatedly attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath while campaigning for assembly elections in the adjoining state where his party contested more than 50 seats but sunk without a trace.
