"All rebel MLAs (who favoured an National Democratic Alliance government led by Nitish Kumar) will be expelled from the party," Paswan told reporters in Delhi.

Paswan said the disciplinary action committee of the LJP, headed by S N Singh, would go into the anti-party activities of the rebels and expel them from the party.

He, however, declined to divulge the number of the rebels.
