It is not often that someone is summarily expelled from a party without so much as a showcause notice or even a suspension. It is even rarer when someone is expelled for “anti-people activities”. And when it is someone like one-time Naveen Patnaik acolyte Pradeep Panigrahi, it is bound to set tongues wagging. Hence, it was only natural that eyebrows were raised when the former minister and Gopalpur MLA was expelled from the party this morning.
