US EditionSamajwadi Party Expels Three MLAs for Anti-Party Activities, Deviating From Core Principles
- On June 23, 2025, the Samajwadi Party took disciplinary action by expelling three of its current MLAs—representing Gosaiganj, Gauriganj, and Unchahar constituencies—due to their involvement in activities deemed against the party’s ideology and principles.
- The expulsion followed their cross-voting in last year's Rajya Sabha elections and endorsement of communal, divisive, and anti-PDA ideologies contrary to the party’s values.
- The MLAs distanced themselves from party activities post-cross-voting, did not attend SP programs, and were given a grace period to reform which they failed to use.
- Dr. R.K. Verma criticized the MLAs for winning as Samajwadi Party candidates but acting against the party's interests and undermining the democratic system, while the party described their expulsion as fully warranted.
- The party emphasized zero tolerance for anti-people elements and announced that actions against its core ideology will always be considered unforgivable going forward.
