New Delhi, Jan 27: In the run-up to the Uttarakhand assembly elections, the Congress high command on Thursday expelled Kishore Upadhyay, the party’s previous state unit chief, for a period of six years.
The action against Upadhyay was taken for his alleged “anti-party activities”.
The expulsion came after many warnings, according to Uttarakhand PCC in-charge Devender Yadav in a letter to Upadhyay. Upadhyay is also accused of “hobnobbing” with the BJP and other political groups, according to Devender Yadav.
