Doing some plain talk, Rajya Sabha Secretariat has given eight days extension to rebel JDU leader Sharad Yadav to explain his stand over JDU's disqualification notice against him, stating "no further extension will be given in the case."

Yadav, who has gone against party President and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's decision to junk the JDU-RJD-Congress grand alliance in Bihar and join hands with the BJP in July this year, is facing the threat of disqualification as Rajya Sabha member.

Yadav was served a notice on October 18 by the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to appear and explain his position before Upper House Chairman M Venkaiah Naidu by October 30.

Last month, leader of JDU in Rajya Sabha RCP Singh wrote to Naidu seeking Yadav's disqualification.

Yadav wrote to the Secretariat on October 23 seeking eight weeks time to appear before it citing his travel in next few weeks in relation to upcoming assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat.

He requested the Rajya Sabha Chairman to "kindly postpone" his appearance in person before him in this context for the aforementioned period.

In reply, the Rajya Sabha Secretariat on October 24 stated that the Chairman considered his request and directed that Yadav should appear before him before November 8 to represent his case. "It may be noted that no further extension will be given in this case," the missive from Rajya Sabha Secretariat said.

Yadav was renominated for Rajya Sabha in May last year and around four and half years of his term remains.

In August, he was removed from the post of Leader of House in the Upper House over the charge of "indulging in anti party activities" and the party later followed it up with seeking his disqualification from the Rajya Sabha on the ground of defection.

Yadav, who claims his faction of the party to be the "real JDU" has organised a number of programmes against the BJP and also attended an anti-BJP rally organised by RJD chief Lalu Prasad in Patna on August 27.

JDU general secretary KC Tyagi, however, argues that with "more than 90 per cent party leaders are with Nitish Kumar," Yadav's claim has "no basis" and is confident that his disqualification will be just a matter of time.
