BJP Expels Uttarakhand Lawmaker Seen Waving Guns In Video

The BJP on Wednesday expelled its Uttarakhand MLA Pranav Singh Champion from the party for six years, days after a purported video of the legislator brandishing guns and dancing at a house party became viral on social media.

BJP media head and Rajya Sabha member Anil Baluni said that the party has taken cognizance of his serial public misconduct and expelled him for six years.

The MLA was issued a show-cause notice by the state leaders after the video appeared. The BJP had suspended Champion from the party for three months on charges of indiscipline last month.
