Mayawati Expels Former Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Siddarth, BSP Coordinator From Party over Indiscipline
Mayawati said repeated violations of party directives prompted the expulsions and a national-level reshuffle as the BSP prepares for upcoming state elections.
- On Sunday, Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati announced the expulsion of former Rajya Sabha member Ashok Siddarth and party coordinator Randhir Singh Beniwal for repeated "indiscipline" and "violation" of organisational directives.
- Siddarth, the father-in-law of Akash Anand, was previously expelled over coordination issues during Maharashtra Assembly elections before reinstatement. Mayawati alleged reports of his return to Uttar Pradesh were a "deliberate conspiracy" to disrupt the party.
- Complaints of "indiscipline" and "violation" against Beniwal emerged continuously from Karnataka, Odisha, and West Bengal despite repeated warnings. Mayawati said, "Reports of indiscipline and violation of party directives against him have also been coming in continuously."
- Mayawati reiterated the BSP leadership's policy barring senior office-bearers from Uttar Pradesh who handle responsibilities in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, and Kashmir from any organisational role within Uttar Pradesh.
- Rajya Sabha MP Ramji Gautam will continue as in-charge of Punjab until the next Punjab Assembly elections and subsequent Lok Sabha polls, maintaining leadership stability during the intensive campaign.
