Haryana Congress expels 13 leaders for 6 years
The Haryana Congress has expelled 13 of its leaders for a period of six years due to their involvement in anti-party activities during the ongoing assembly elections. The decision was made by the Haryana Pradesh Congress Committee (HPCC) after it was discovered that these leaders were contesting against official party candidates in various constituencies. The move is aimed at curbing indiscipline within the party, it said.
