SP Chief's Dig at Expelled MLAs Becoming Ministers
The Samajwadi Party (SP) kicked out three of their members.
The party leader, Akhilesh Yadav, made fun of the situation.
He said they got rid of the members so they could become ministers in the BJP government.
The three people removed were accused of helping the other party.
Other members were also thought to have helped, but were not kicked out.
It seems the SP leader is making light of the situation, suggesting it was a setup for the former members to join the government.
Samajwadi Party (SP) expelled three MLAs who allegedly voted in favor of the ruling BJP.
SP President Akhilesh Yadav made sarcastic comments about the expulsion.
Yadav said the expulsions resolved a 'technical issue' preventing the MLAs from becoming ministers.
