The Bahujan Samaj Party on Tuesday expelled former MLA Imran Masood for 'indiscipline and anti-party activities'. Imran joined the BSP after the 2022 assembly elections and was made the coordinator of Western Uttar Pradesh.
According to reports, a few days back, Imran Masood had met Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in Delhi after praising him continiously on public forums. After I.N.D.I.A alliance, Imran Masood remained in constant contact with the Congress. In 2014, he contested the Lok Sabha elections from the Congress, in which he secured second position with more than four lakh votes.
Praising Rahul Gandhi he said, "Rahul Gandhi is such a leader in the whole country, who fearlessly speaks in favor of the people."
Nine months after he left the Congress to join the Samajwadi Party, Imran Masood in October 2022 had switched to the Bahujan Samaj Party. Welcoming him into the party fold, BSP supremo Mayawati said the Muslim community is convinced that it is the BSP and not the SP that can get rid of the "hateful and cruel politics of the BJP".
