He has been suspended by the party Chief, Mayawati for ignoring problems of the common people of his constituency. AIR correspondent reports, recently BSP had suspended former Animal Husbandry Minister Awadhpal Singh Yadav following his writ petition to the Allahabad High Court.

Couple of days earlier party had expelled two its former MPs including Anand Singh and Kirti Vardhan Singh for their alleged anti party activities. Later they had joined Samjwadi Party.
