Haryana Congress chief Udai Bhan seeks expulsion of nine party rebels for "anti-party activities"

Chandigarh (Haryana) [India], September 28 : Ahead of Haryana assembly polls, state Congress chief Chief Udai Bhan has sought stern action against nine party rebels who are contesting against the party's official nominees or supporting candidates of other parties.
In a letter to Manoj Chauhan, AICC secretary and co-incharge of Haryana, Udai Bhan said the party rebels have indulged in "anti-party activities."
The letter recommended expulsion of Sharda Rathore, Rohita Revri, Satbir Bhana, Rajkumar Valimiki, Kapoor Narwal, Virender Gogdia, Harsh Kumar, Lalit Nagar and Satbir Ratera.
He said the rebels "are indulging in anti-party activities either by way of supporting the other party candidates or fighting themselves as a rebel by maligning the party image".
Bhan said these persons should be expelled for six years in order to "curb the indiscipline in the party."
Earlier in the day, the Congress Party released its detailed manifesto for the Haryana assembly polls which will be held on October 5.
