Action spans 12 states after office-bearers skip Rahul Gandhi-led ‘Chalo Delhi’
Chalo Delhi rally
The Youth Congress has suspended more than 300 leaders from 12 states.
They were absent from the “Chalo Delhi” rally on November 1.
The rally was organised by the INDIA bloc in the national capital.
Rahul Gandhi was the organising leader.
The organisation had instructed the leaders to attend the rally.
They were also instructed to take a screenshot of their presence at the rally using the “With IYC” app.
Officials had given an assembly point in Delhi’s Minto Road.
However, during verification it was found that there were several unaccounted absences.
As a result, more than 300 leaders have been suspended.
Over 60 leaders have been suspended in Madhya Pradesh.
32 leaders have been suspended in Rajasthan.
Leaders in Gujarat, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Telangana have also been suspended.
“We had around 20,000 workers attending. Some of the leaders did not follow our instructions,” Uday Bhanu Chib, president of Youth congress has said.
The move has created a stir in political circles.
Some are saying that it is to bring back discipline to the organisation.
While others are saying that it is a way to improve the party.
