Congress strips Uttarakhand leader of all posts
The Hindu
It accused him of hobnobbing with BJP
The Congress on Wednesday removed former Uttarakhand unit chief Kishore Upadhyay from “all party positions” for “hobnobbing with the BJP” and “indulging in anti-party activities” despite warnings. In a letter to Mr. Upadhyay, All-India Congress Committee in-charge for Uttarakhand Devender Yadav said the people of Uttarakhand were yearning for change and waiting to “throw out the corrupt BJP government”.
“It is the solemn duty of each one of us to rise to the challenge and serve the Devbhumi of Uttarakhand as also its people. Sadly, you have been hobnobbing with the BJP and other political parties to undermine this fight and weaken the cause of the people. Despite multiple warnings given to you personally, your conduct of indulging in anti-party activities continues unabated,” Mr. Yadav wrote.
