Mayawati Expels Former MP Ashok Siddharth from BSP for Second Time

On a recent day, BSP chief Mayawati announced the expulsion of former MP Ashok Siddharth from the party, marking the second time this action has been taken. Siddharth, who had previously been expelled and later rejoined the party, is now once again removed from its fold. Party officials stated that the decision followed an internal review of Siddharth’s conduct, but no specific allegations were made public.

The move comes amid ongoing internal disputes within the BSP as it prepares for upcoming elections.
