BJP's Gonda district president expelled from party for indiscipline
The Statesman
|June 12, 2025
Uttar Pradesh BJP on Wednesday expelled Gonda District president Amar Kishore Kashyap for gross indiscipline. A video showing him in an allegedly objectionable situation with a woman inside the party's district office had gone viral.
On 25 May, a video of the BJP office went viral on social media, which showed the district President with a woman party worker.
After his suspension, Kashyap alleged that the party had taken unilateral action. "The party should have investigated the video, and the person who took the video should have been punished," he demanded.
He has also demanded the expulsion of some party leaders for making his CCTV footage viral. The video was recorded on the night of 12 April.
