Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav has expelled MLA Pooja Pal from the party for alleged anti-party activities. The decision was taken hours after Pooja praised Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath in the state Assembly for eliminating gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed. "I thank him for adopting a zero-tolerance policy and ensuring my husband’s killer met his end," she had said.
