Congress warns rebels face suspension in local elections
The Congress party in Telangana has warned its leaders and members that if they decide to run against the party's chosen candidates in the upcoming local elections, they will be immediately suspended.
This decision was made during a meeting of the party's disciplinary committee.
The committee wants everyone to follow the party's rules and support the official candidates to avoid the problems they faced in previous elections where internal fights led to losses.
The committee is also reviewing past disciplinary cases and will announce more details later.
Their goal is to make sure the party works together to win the local elections.
TPCC DAC warns of immediate suspension for any leader contesting as a rebel in local elections.
Mallu Ravi emphasizes strict discipline for MPTC, ZPTC, and Municipal elections.
Rebel candidates will be summarily suspended if they file nominations against party-sanctioned candidates.
DAC aims to prevent internal rivalry that led to opposition victories in recent Sarpanch elections.
Committee is reviewing pending disciplinary cases and will release a detailed framework later.
