Days after she reportedly got into a scuffle with a Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP at Delhi airport, the Rajya Sabha MP M Sasikala Pushpa was expelled from the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) by the party supremo Jayalalithaa on Monday for bringing disrepute to the party.
In a brief statement, Jayalalithaa said that Pushpa was being expelled from all party posts, including primary membership, as she had acted in violation of the party principles and ethics.
"Her behaviour has brought great disrepute to the party," she said.
Jayalalithaa asked party supporters not to have any truck henceforth with the Thoothukudi based Rajya Sabha MP.
Last week, Pushpa had reportedly got into a scuffle with her colleague from the DMK, Tiruchi Siva, at Delhi airport.
