"SP state president and Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has expelled Sitapur MLA Yadav for a period of six years," party spokesman Rajendra Chaudhary said in a statement.
Earlier on January 4, Yadav was suspended while his son was expelled for their anti-party activities during panchayat polls in the district.
Yadav had fielded his son Jitendra for district panchayat chairman's post in Sitapur against party candidate Seema Gupta.
