'Pradeep was going against the party line'- JVM-P secretary

Yadav had earlier received a notice from the party on Wednesday, seeking an explanation from him on his alleged anti-party activities. A similar notice was issued by JVM-P to party leader Bandhu Tirkey after which he was expelled from the party.

JVM-P secretary and spokesperson Tauheed Alam had stated on Wednesday and had said, "Pradeep Yadav was seen going against the party's line on many occasions. He met with Sonia Gandhi in Delhi."

"He also shared the stage with Congress leaders. There are talks that he is planning to join the Congress. If he has any issue, he should speak about it on the party forum. This is why a clarification has been sought from him within 48 hours," Alam had said.

Yadav, an MLA from Poreyahat constituency, is among the three MLAs who won on the JVM-P ticket in the recent Assembly elections held in the state.  ANI sources also stated that there are reports about the Babulal Marandi-led party joining hands with the BJP. However, the party has not cleared its stand on this yet.
