The Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (UKD) on Tuesday expelled its lone cabinet minister Diwakar Bhatt, following a difference in opinion over the party's decision to withdraw support from the BJP-led government in the state.
"The party had suspended Bhatt for indiscipline on January 1 and had sought an explanation from him in three days. The party has now decided to expel him for life long, as he did not respond," UKD president Trivendra Singh Panwar told reporters.
Bhatt, the UKD MLA and Food and Civil Supplies Minister in BJP government had voiced against the party's decision to pull support from government last week.
The UKD, which has three MLAs in State Assembly, withdrew support from BJP government on December 27, 2010.
