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.
