Sharad Yadav removed as chairman of parliamentary committee
Janata Dal (United) rebel leader Sharad Yadav on Tuesday was removed as the chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Industry. This is reportedly due to Yadav's alleged anti-party activities and his stand against JD(U) Chief Nitish Kumar's decision to ally with the BJP. RCP Singh, a close aide of Nitish Kumar, has succeeded Sharad Yadav to the post.
