Akhilesh Yadav's Sarcastic Jibe at Expelled SP MLAs
Akhilesh Yadav, the SP president, sarcastically commented on the expulsion of three SP MLAs, citing it as a resolution to 'technical issues' preventing their ministerial roles in the BJP. The move comes after allegations of their cross-voting for the BJP during Rajya Sabha elections.

Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav has taken a mockingly critical stance against the MLAs expelled from his party. He suggested their removal resolved hindrances stopping them from assuming ministerial positions within the BJP.
Yadav humorously remarked that the expulsion of Abhay Singh, Rakesh Pratap Singh, and Manoj Kumar Pandey eliminated the 'technical issue' impeding their prospects of becoming ministers. The SP's decision aligns with accusations of their defection by supporting BJP interests.
The expulsion follows incidents involving other SP members suspected of voting for the BJP in a past Rajya Sabha election, though no action has been taken against all involved, notably Maharani Devi, associated with a jailed minister.
