BSP Expels Former UP Minister Anant Kumar Mishra for 'Anti-Party' Activities
Mayawati said Mishra was removed for anti-party activities as the BSP steps up discipline and warns workers against opponents’ tactics before assembly polls.
- On Thursday, Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati expelled former Uttar Pradesh Health Minister Anant Kumar Mishra, also known as Untu Mishra, with immediate effect due to alleged anti-party activities.
- Amid a heated electoral atmosphere in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati urged party workers to remain vigilant against opponent tactics and work with "full honesty and dedication" to ensure success of the party's Ambedkarite mission in upcoming Assembly elections.
- The party previously expelled former Rajya Sabha member Ashok Siddharth, father-in-law of Mayawati's nephew Akash Anand, and party coordinator for Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu, and Kashmir Randhir Singh Beniwal on similar anti-party allegations.
- Earlier, Mayawati criticized both the government and the Opposition for politicizing the Foreign Contribution Amendment Bill, which was referred to a 31-member JPC on Wednesday amid protests by opposition parties alleging the legislation targets minorities and NGOs.
- These moves signal a resolve to reinforce party discipline ahead of Assembly polls. The BSP has historically positioned itself around political representation of Dalits and other marginalized sections, invoking the principles of Ambedkar in its messaging.
