Banerjee was suspended from the party in June for three months after allegations of breaking the party’s discipline.

The CPI(M) on Friday expelled its Rajya Sabha member Ritabrata Banerjee for "gross anti-party activity", its West Bengal secretary Surya Kanta Mishra said.

For gross anti-party activity, Ritabrata Banerjee has been expelled from the primary membership of the party. On 13 September, the decision was taken at the party’s state secretariat meeting. The decision was endorsed by CPI(M) Politburo.
