Samajwadi Party expelled rebel MLA Pooja Pal for praising CM Yogi Adityanath during the Vision-2047 discussion in the UP assembly. Pooja, known for cross-voting, lauded the CM’s tough stance on crime and credited him for ensuring justice in a case related to Atiq Ahmed. Party chief Akhilesh Yadav promptly expelled her citing anti-party actions and indiscipline. Pooja is the fourth SP MLA to be ousted for supporting BJP in the Rajya Sabha polls. Her murdered husband’s case further fueled her support for CM Yogi Adityanath.
