The expulsion comes a day after Chadha challenged BJP to prove that he forged the signatures of four members of parliament.
In a press conference held on Thursday, Chadha said, “I challenge the BJP leaders to bring the paper on which forged signatures were done.”
Earlier this week, Raghav Chadha was accused of forging the signatures of four MPs, who said that he had proposed their names to send the Delhi NCT Amendment Bill to the Select Committee panel without their consent.
