On Tuesday, the situation escalated into a rampage, with disgruntled members storming the party office and destroying furniture and equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a zero-tolerance stance, the CPIM high command has expelled seven party members, including Ajay Sarkar, Saidul Sheikh, and Sentu Sheikh, for their involvement in the violence.

This public display of discord has raised serious questions about the party&#8217;s unity just weeks before the crucial 2026 Assembly elections.
