Bihar JD(U) MLA Anant Singh has been expelled for six years over alleged anti-party activities and claims the party will be reduced to 10-12 seats in the next assembly elections. Singh, a strongman in Mokama, has no regrets over the disciplinary action and questions the authority of the current party brass, hinting at forming his own party. He had previously revolted against the JD(U) by campaigning for a rival candidate.

Maharashtra has filed a petition against the Union health ministry and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India, alleging the regulator has created a parallel enforcement system and encroached on state powers. The state claims the 2006 Food Safety and Standards Act was meant to decentralise enforcement, but the regulator has appointed central licensing authorities and changed registration limits without public feedback. A hearing is scheduled for November 26.
