Patna, Jul 21 (PTI) : Just a month after the Janata Dal (United) broke its ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party, cracks are visible within the Bihar unit of the latter. Sources said that a large chunk of BJP's Bihar unit cadres, mainly in the Mithilanchal region of north Bihar, are also likely to join the JD(U).

Four of the BJP MLAs have reportedly also hit out the party's central leadership and former Bihar deputy chief minister Sushil Modi. While MLA Amarnath Gami has been suspended, sources said the party is considering action against other 'rebel' leaders - Vijay Mishra, Shashi Hazari and Rana Ganeshwar - also.

Gami, BJP MLA from Hayaghat in Darbhanga district, had accused Sushil Modi of monopolising party affairs and promoting sycophants and neglecting genuine workers like him. "Sushil Modi has hijacked the party. He does not want party cardres to progress and therefore he suppresses them. That's why I am against him," he had said.

In a press release, state BJP Vice President Sanjay Mayukh said that state party president Mangal Pandey has suspended Gami for anti-party activities.

Sources said the revolt among the BJP leaders is being allegedly engineered by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his team.
