PATNA: Janata Dal (United) today expelled its party leader and Lok Sabha candidate from Sheohar seat Shabir Ali for praising BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi JD(U) president Sharad Yadav confirmed the expulsion of Ali, who is the candidate from Sheohar Lok Sabha seat in Bihar, over phone from his constituency Madhepura and said that he had been expelled for life.However, Yadav refused to give details of Ali's expulsion beyond merely saying that he was a "kharab admi" (bad person)."I was against him from the beginning and knew he is not a good person. It's good now that his real face has come out and he has been shown the door," the JD(U) president said.He said JD(U) would replace Ali with another candidate in Sheohar parliamentary seat soon.Shabir Ali, who was denied a Rajya Sabha renomination recently, praised Narendra Modi's policy attracting the wrath of the party.He was among three Rajya Sabha members of JD(U), including Shivanand Tiwari and bureaucrat-politician N K Singh, who were denied renomination to the Rajya Sabha last month and were asked to contest Lok Sabha election instead.While the two others had backed out from contesting polls, Ali had agreed and was allotted party ticket from Sheohar seat.Ali had come to the JD(U) from Ramvilas Paswan's LJP in the midst of his Rajya Sabha term on expectation of getting renomination.Ali came down heavily on the party alleging that big leaders were surrounded with "sycophants" who would lead the party to ruins.Meanwhile, JD(U) general secretary K C Tyagi told PTI in New Delhi that Ali's action was against the party's ideology as well the national interest as he was eulogising Modi."He is praising Modi when the fact remains that JD(U) broke its 17 years long friendship with BJP due to Modi. When JD(U) is fighting communal forces and trying to stop BJP by pursuing the initiative to form a third force, it is not only any party activity but also against national interest that a party worker is eulogising Modi," Tyagi told PTI.Ali has been expelled from the party and his candidature for Lok Sabha polls stands withdrawn.The expelled leader was also made the party chief for Delhi before the assembly elections last year and his name was announced as a candidate for the Lok Sabha polls from Sheohar constituency of Bihar, a fortnight back.With his expulsion from the party, Ali is the second Rajya Sabha MP from JD(U), who has warmed up BJP.Senior party leader N K Singh, who left JD(U) after being denied re-nomination for Rajya Sabha has already joined BJP.
