Gun-toting Uttarakhand MLA Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion suspended by BJP for six years

Lakhnow, July 17 : Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday expelled its Uttarakhand MLA Kunwar Pranav Singh Champion from the party for 6 years. The party took strict action against the Khanpur MLA after he was recently caught on camera dancing with guns and a drink in his hands.
In the video, which went viral within no time, Kunwar Pranav was also caught mouthing abuses and dancing with three pistols and a rifle. Kunwar Pranav can also be heard saying that nobody can do what he is doing in entire India. It is to be noted that the video had surfaced just days after the BJP MLA was suspended from the party for three months for threatening a journalist.
At one point in the video, the BJP MLA can be seen holding a pistol in each hand and one pistol between his teeth. While his friends appreciate the MLA for his audacity saying “nobody can do this in entire Uttarakhand”, Kunwar Pranav replies “not just Uttarakhand, but nobody can do this in India”.
Talking to ANI, BJP national media in-charge Anil Baluni Anil Baluni said that an explanation was sought by the party from Kunwar Pranav on the viral video in which he was seen abusing and indulging in wrongful acts but his reply was not satisfactory. Baluni added that the disciplinary committee then decided to expel the MLA from the party for 6 yrs.
