BSP expels former MLA Imran Masood for alleged anti-party activities

The party said in a statement Masood had been warned several times not to indulge in “anti-party activities and indiscipline” but it did not yield any result, following which he had to be expelled. The former MLA had recently been in the news for praising Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Masood, an influential Muslim leader from Saharanpur district, also did not attend a meeting of the BSP leaders and office-bearers chaired by party chief Mayawati in Lucknow on August 23.
