Chhattisgarh Congress suspended its rebel MLA R K Rai for “anti-party” activities but that did not deter him from making “derogatory” remarks against Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi.
The decision to suspend Rai, considered a supporter of Chhattisgarh Janata Congress Party chief Ajit Jogi, was taken by Chhattisgarh Pradesh Congress Committee (CPCC) at a meeting of its Coordination Committee in Raipur. “With the unanimous decision of the members of Coordination Committee, Rai has been suspended from the party,” AICC General Secretary in-charge of Chhattisgarh B K Hariprasad told reporters after the meeting.
