Cong expels rebel leader Kamboj

Fazilka, October 13

Congress rebel Jagdeep Goldy Kamboj, a former general secretary of All-India Youth Congress, has been expelled from the Congress for anti-party activities.

PPCC president Sunil Jakhar, in a letter dispatched on October 11, stated that Kamboj was expelled from the Congress for contesting the Assembly byelection from Jalalabad against the official candidate.

Notably, Goldy in his letter written to BV Srinivas, president, Indian Youth Congress, on September 24 had announced to quit the post and the party. He had resigned in protest against giving party ticket to an “outsider”, Raminder Singh Awla, who hails from neighbouring Guruharsahai segment.

Later, Kamboj decided to enter the poll fray as an Independent candidate. — OC
