The Jammu and Kashmir unit of the BJP on Monday expelled its former MLA and senior leader Gagan Bhagat for indiscipline and anti-party activities.
In August, Mr. Bhagat was suspended for three months on the recommendation of the disciplinary committee of the J&K BJP for his role in the alleged abduction of an ex-Serviceman’s daughter.
Going against the party line, the MLA had on December 3 moved the Supreme Court challenging the dissolution of Assembly by the Governor calling it “unconstitutional and undemocratic”.
“In view of his continued indiscipline, anti-party and anti-Jammu activities, J&K BJP president Ravindra Raina has expelled Gagan Bhagat from the party with immediate effect,” party spokesperson Sunil Sethi said.
