Uttarakhand BJP Expels Ex-MLA Suresh Rathore After Video Controversy
Suresh Rathore, a politician, was kicked out of his party, the BJP, for six years.
This happened because of a video that appeared online showing him with another woman he said was his second wife.
The BJP said he broke party rules.
Also, in the state of Uttarakhand, where he lives, it is against the law to have more than one wife, which the BJP government enforces.
Suresh Rathore, former MLA, was expelled from BJP for six years.
The expulsion followed a social media video featuring Rathore.
The video showed Rathore with actress Urmila Sanawar, introduced as his second wife.
The BJP cited violations of party discipline and social conduct.
Uttarakhand's Uniform Civil Code, which criminalizes polygamy, played a role in the decision.
