Lok Sabha MP Kunwar Danish Ali, recently involved in a contentious exchange in the house, has been suspended from the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) for alleged "anti-party activities."

Ali, representing Amroha, denied the charges, asserting his commitment to the BSP and opposition to BJP's policies. He thanked Mayawati for the Lok Sabha ticket while expressing regret over the party's decision. Ali had faced communal slurs from BJP MP Ramesh Bidhuri, leading to a show-cause notice to Bidhuri. The BSP accused Ali of disregarding party assurances and engaging in anti-party actions. Formerly with JD(S), Ali joined the BSP in 2019 with HD Deve Gowda's consent and won the Amroha seat in the 2019 general elections.
