TMC expels Bolpur MP for anti-party activities

The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leadership Wednesday expelled its Bolpur MP Anupam Hazra from the party for anti-party activities.

Earlier in the day, the party had expelled Bishnupur Lok Sabha seat MP Saumitra Khan, who has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"We have decided to expel both Anupam Hazra and Saumitra Khan for anti-party activities," TMC secretary general Partha Chatterjee said.

Both Khan and Hazra in recent past had spoken out against the TMC leadership.
