The Story in Brief
BSP chief Mayawati has expelled former Uttar Pradesh health minister Anant Kumar Mishra, also known as Untu Mishra, from the party with immediate effect for 'anti-party' activities. The announcement came on Thursday via social media post, with Mayawati noting that the electoral atmosphere in UP has become quite heated.
Mishra served as health minister during the BSP government in Uttar Pradesh. The decision to expel him was taken due to his party-opposing conduct, according to Mayawati's statement. No further details about specific activities were provided in the announcement.
The Indian Opinion
The expulsion sounds definitive, but BSP has a history of readmitting expelled leaders once the heat subsides. Claims of 'anti-party activities' are routine, what matters is whether Mayawati names the specific act or keeps it vague. Watch whether Mishra joins another party in coming weeks; that will reveal if this was a genuine purge or a warning shot.
