Patna, July 23

The RJD on Monday expelled its national spokesman Shankar Charan Tripathi with immediate effect for indulging in “anti-party” activities.

A letter issued by RJD national secretary general SM Qamar Alam said: “Tripathi has been relieved of all his responsibilities in the party, besides cancelling the party membership.”

Tripathi had on Sunday slammed Congress president Rahul Gandhi for hugging PM Narendra Modi and later winking during the no-confidence motion in the Lok Sabha on July 20.

He said Gandhi’s actions were childish and unexpected from a person, who considers himself a prime ministerial candidate in the Lok Sabha polls. Incidentally, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, in a tweet, had praised Gandhi for his “fantastic speech”.

Rahul winked like a ‘loafer’
