Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has terminated Kushwaha from the post of the chairman with immediate effect, an official spokesman said here.
Kushwaha's removal from the post of the centre's chairman, which is equivalent to status of state cabinet minister, is yet another blow to him after he was removed from the post of SP's national general secretary yesterday.
"SP president Mulayam Singh Yadav has terminated Kushwaha from the post of national general secretary with immediate effect," a statement issued by general secretary and spokesman Ramgopal Yadav had said.
