The ruling BJP in Tripura expelled its State Vice President, Patal Kanya Jamatia, for "anti-party" activities.
"Patal Kanya Jamatia, the Vice President of the (Tripura) BJP, has been expelled from the party’s primary membership due to anti-party activities and indiscipline. The decision was taken following instruction from BJP state president Rajib Bhattacharjee," said a statement issued by the BJP on Tuesday.
The action came a day after Jamatia, a firebrand tribal leader who joined the BJP ahead of the 2023 assembly elections, floated the Tripura People's Socialist Party (TPSP).
She fought the last assembly election on a BJP ticket from the Amapinagar constituency and lost.
Jamatia, however, was appointed chairman of Tripura Rehabilitation and Plantation Corporation Ltd (TRPCL).
Jamatia, who is considered a strong opponent of Tripra Motha supremo Pradyot Kishore Manikya Debbarma, on Monday announced the new party "to serve the people".
