Congress Takes Strict Action in Municipal Elections; Former MLA Among Five Leaders Expelled

Haryana : The Congress party has taken strict action against party leaders involved in anti-party activities during the municipal elections, expelling five prominent members, including a former MLA. This move comes as the party seeks to maintain discipline and ensure loyalty among its ranks ahead of the crucial polls.

According to sources, the expelled leaders were found guilty of working against the party’s official candidates, either by supporting rival candidates or contesting elections independently. The Congress leadership viewed this as a direct violation of party discipline and decided to take immediate action.

A senior Congress spokesperson stated that the party will not tolerate indiscipline and will continue to take strict measures against those working against its interests. The leaders who have been expelled were issued multiple warnings but failed to comply with party directives. The high command believes that such decisive actions will send a strong message to other members and prevent internal sabotage.

Political analysts suggest that these expulsions could have a significant impact on the party’s performance in the municipal elections, as some of the dismissed leaders had considerable influence in their respective constituencies. However, Congress leaders remain confident that their official candidates will still perform well and secure key positions in the civic body.

Meanwhile, the expelled leaders have expressed disappointment over the decision, with some alleging that the party leadership acted unfairly. One of the dismissed leaders, a former MLA, claimed that internal factionalism was the real reason behind their removal, rather than any genuine misconduct. However, Congress leaders have dismissed these claims, stating that disciplinary actions were taken purely on merit.

With the municipal elections fast approaching, Congress is focusing on strengthening its campaign and ensuring that no further internal conflicts affect its chances. The party has urged its workers to remain united and work towards securing victory in the upcoming elections.

This development highlights the growing tensions within political parties during election periods, where loyalty and discipline play a crucial role in securing electoral success. The Congress leadership has made it clear that they will not hesitate to take further action if any other party members are found violating party rules.
