Senior Delhi Congress leader Barkha Singh expelled after calling Rahul Gandhi unfit to lead the party
On Thursday, Singh had announced that she was stepping down as the chief of the women’s wing of the Congress’ Delhi unit, though she did not quit the party.
The Congress said that the party's disciplinary committee has expelled Singh for six years for "undertaking anti-party activities just before the MCD elections."
In an open letter on Thursday, Singh had said, "Rahul Gandhi is unfit to lead the party...the one pertinent question we need to ask today is why Rahul Gandhi is hiding ? Why is he scared of meeting his own party members ?"
"Senior-most leaders of the party, I would not like to name anybody, are also of the view that Rahul Gandhi is mentally unfit to lead the party but choose not to say it because of reasons that are unknown to me," Singh had said.
"He (Rahul) is only interested in meeting sycophants and not leaders who reason, question and ask," she added.
Earlier this week, senior leader and former Delhi minister Arvinder Singh Lovely quit the party and joined the BJP, after hitting out at Rahul Gandhi over the way he is running the Congress.
