On Tuesday, the Congress party in Himachal Pradesh took a strong stance on internal discipline by warning its leaders against making public statements against one another. This decision emerged from a meeting of the Himachal Pradesh Congress disciplinary committee, chaired by MLA Kuldeep Singh Rathore. The committee noted that members had been increasingly airing grievances in the media, which it deemed as indiscipline. Consequently, the committee unanimously decided to expel Neeraj Bharti for six years due to his repeated criticisms of the state government and party leadership on social media. Bharti, who had resigned after receiving a show-cause notice, argued that his expulsion was an attempt to silence him for raising legitimate concerns about the treatment of party workers. Rathore reiterated that any internal disagreements should be addressed through the appropriate party channels rather than publicly.
