Congress expels Jyotiraditya Scindia for anti-party activities
New Delhi/IBNS: Congress has expelled former Guna MP Jyotiraditya Scindia for anti-party activities after the latter resigned as the party leader on Tuesday.
Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi has approved the expulsion of Scindia from party with an immediate effect.
In the resignation letter, Scindia wrote, "Having been a primary member of the Congress party for last 18 years, it is now time for me to move on. I am tendering my resignation from the primary membership of the Indian National Congress and as you well know, this is a path that has been drawing itself out over the last year."
"While my aim and purpose remain the same as it has always been from the very beginning, to serve the people of my state and country, I believe I am unable to do this anymore within this party.
To reflect and realise the aspirations of my people and my workers I believe it is best that I now look ahead at a fresh start."
Madhya Pradesh fell into a political crisis after more than 17 Congress MLAs including six ministers, all loyals to former Guna MP Scindia, flew out to Bengaluru, Karnataka on Monday.
Scindia tendered his resignation after holding a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday.
According to media sources, Scindia might be offered a Rajya Sabha seat.
