BJP expelled Putul Singh from primary membership of party for 6 years

Patna (Bihar) [India], March 30 (ANI): BJP on Saturday expelled Putul Singh, wife of former late Union Minister Digvijay Singh, from the primary membership of the party for six years for filing her nomination as an independent from Banka Lok Sabha constituency against the NDA's official candidate.  
"Through newspapers and various others sources, it is known that you have filed nomination as an Independent candidate from Banka Lok Sabha constituency against the official NDA candidate. This comes under the indiscipline and hence the party has taken it seriously. Hence, you are expelled from the primary membership of the party for six years," reads the office order.
