The Communist Party of India (Marxist) Bengal Unit on Wednesday recommended expulsion of Rajya Sabha MP and youth leader Ritabrata Banerjee from the party. The final decision will be taken by the party's Central Committee. 

Banerjee was suspended for three months by the party in June.

He was removed from the state committee following a report of a party commission headed by Md Salim that found him guilty of leaking information to the media and enemy camp as well as for having a lavish lifestyle.

Last week, he had said that he had been a victim of jealousy in the party since he was vocal and very active in Parliament.

"It was my fate to become a party MP and that too become very much vocal and active in the Parliament. Had I been dumb in the Parliament and not active as I had been, I would not have to face this fate," Banerjee told a Bengali TV channel during an explosive interview. "I am a victim of jealousy by some of my party leaders who were always busy to heckle me or malign me. They somehow convinced the party headquarter to take a decision against me," the CPI(M) youth leader said. He had also alleged that senior leader Md Salim, and his son were spreading canards against him with some purpose or vested interest.Banerjee denied he ever submitted inflated air fare bills as alleged against him saying that he was a member of five parliamentary committees and for that he had to travel a lot. 

With state committee recommending expulsion of Ritabrata, it looks like this young MP's fate is all but sealed. Ritabrata so far hasn't reacted to this new development. He also hasn't revealed his future political plans.
