Two former district presidents expelled by Congress for six years amid MC elections

YAMUNANAGAR: In a political development, Congress party leadership on Sunday expelled two party members, Rakesh Sharma and Anil Goyal, for alleged anti-party activities during the ongoing Municipal Corporation Elections (2025).

The decision, announced by Haryana Congress Committee president Udai Bhan, comes after multiple reports and complaints were received through various channels regarding their involvement in actions deemed detrimental to the party’s interests. Consequently, both leaders have been removed from the party for a period of six years with immediate effect.

Congress leadership has reaffirmed its commitment to discipline and unity, emphasizing that strict action will be taken against any leader or worker found engaging in activities against the party’s interests.

Rakesh Sharma said that he was a true soldier of the party and he had committed no anti-party activity.

“I have always worked with honesty and dedication for the Congress party. In future also, I cannot go against my party. I will meet senior party leaders to present my side,” said Rakesh Sharma.

Anil Goyal could not be contacted for his comments.
