Maharashtra Congress has suspended 28 rebel candidates for six years for 'anti-party' activity ahead of the upcoming assembly elections. The suspended leaders from 22 assembly constituencies are contesting in the November 20 elections against the official candidates of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance.
Prominent leaders who faced action include former minister Rajendra Mulak (Ramtek constituency), Yagnyavalk Jichkar (Katol), Kamal Vyawhare (Kasba), Manoj Shinde (Kopri Pachpakhadi), and Aaba Bagul (Parvati).
This decision has been taken on directives of AICC in-charge Ramesh Chennithala, a Congress statement said.
