The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has expelled two senior leaders from the party on charges of anti-party activities and indiscipline, according to an official release. The party's Ghaziabad unit expelled Jaiprakash Singh on Friday, while the Bulandshahr unit expelled former MLC Dharamveer Singh Ashok on Saturday.
Jaiprakash Singh's Expulsion
Singh had been re-inducted into the BSP in November 2025, nearly eight years after he was suspended in 2018 on similar charges. During his earlier stint, he held several senior organisational positions at the national level. The BSP release stated, "Earlier, he worked for the party in Delhi. After being taken back last year, he was appointed as the party's in-charge for Kerala." It added that Singh had apologised to senior leaders and sought another opportunity to work for the party, following which he was reinstated, but his "anti-party mindset did not change."
Dharamveer Singh Ashok's Expulsion
The former MLC, on the other hand, was warned several times before being expelled on Saturday, said the release. The party did not provide further details about the specific actions that led to his expulsion.
The BSP's disciplinary action underscores its commitment to maintaining party discipline and addressing any activities that contravene its principles. Both leaders were found guilty of engaging in actions detrimental to the party's interests, prompting the decisive measures taken by the respective district units.
