Samajwadi Party today expelled the Lucknow District Panchyat Chairperson and her husband from the party for alleged land grabbing and on other charges, including that of "anti-party" activities.
"District Panchyat Chairperson Maya Yadav and her husband and SP leader Vijay Bahadur Yadav have been expelled from the party for anti-party activities, indiscipline and land grabbing by Chief Minister and party state president Akhilesh Yadav," SP spokesman Rajendra Chowdhury said.
Vijay allegedly tried to grab a piece of land in Chinhat area yesterday with his supporters, who beat up the villagers badly.
An FIR in this regard was registered at Gomti Nagar police station and Vijay was arrested today.
Under attack from opposition parties for "poor" law and order in the state, the Chief Minister is trying to give a message to party cadres that he would not tolerate any illegal activities.
