The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday expelled its Rajasthan MLA Shobharani Kushwah for cross-voting in favour of a Congress candidate in the elections to four Rajya Sabha seats from the State held recently.
Ms. Kushwah, elected from Dholpur constituency in 2018, had turned defiant after her suspension from the party last week.
In a letter to Ms. Kushwah, BJP central disciplinary committee’s member secretary Om Pathak said a separate action would be initiated against her for showing indiscipline while being the party’s MLA. “You have publicly levelled unrestrained and unverified allegations against the party leadership instead of giving a clarification,” the letter stated.
