New Delhi : Subodh Roy, the Bihar leader from the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), was expelled from the party Wednesday after he tried to “patch up” with Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Roy, a party central committee member and a former Lok Sabha MP from Bhagalpur, has been “expelled from the primary membership of the party for grave anti-party activities”, the CPI-M politburo said in a statement here.

“He tried to patch up with the Bihar chief minister for the upcoming assembly polls. The politburo took action based on a report by the party’s state unit,” a senior politburo member told IANS.
