MSY expels Akhilesh minister from SP
Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday expelled Uttar Pradesh minister Pawan Pandey from the party on charges of indiscipline, in the latest round of sackings amid a bitter power tussle in the family that has pushed it to the brink of a split.
​Lucknow: Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav on Wednesday expelled Uttar Pradesh minister Pawan Pandey from the party on charges of indiscipline, in the latest round of sackings amid a bitter power tussle in the family that has pushed it to the brink of a split.
On Sunday, chief minister Akhilesh Yadav threw out his uncle Shivpal Yadav, who is also the Samajwadi Party’s state chief, and three other “pro-Amar Singh” ministers from his team.
Mulayam then dismissed his cousin and SP general secretary Ramgopal Yadav, who has backed Akhilesh in the family feud, from the party for six years. Shivpal Yadav announced Pandey’s expulsion during a press conference and said that the party has sent a recommendation to the Chief Minister for sacking him from the Cabinet.
The expulsion has come following a police complaint by party MLC Ashu Malik who had charged Pandey of assaulting him at the Chief Mminister’s residence on Monday and later threatening him. Malik filed a complaint at Gautampalli police station in Lucknow on Tuesday.
Malik, an MLC from Ghaziabad, alleged that Pandey abused him while he was sitting in the lounge after the CM left to meet Netaji (Mulayam). Malik claimed when he opposed, Pandey assaulted him.
