Congress Sends Disciplinary Notice as Vishvendra Singh Signals Exit
The Congress party sent Vishvendra Singh a notice asking him to explain his actions.
The party says he criticised leaders and did not help enough with party work.
Singh says he has always followed his principles and maintained dignity.
He also questioned the leadership of Govind Singh Dotasra.
Singh said he might leave Congress and later announced his exit online.
However, reports disagreed about whether the party received a formal resignation letter.
Dotasra said Singh’s concerns should be heard before a final decision is made.
The disagreement has become a public dispute between Singh and Rajasthan Congress leaders.
The Congress disciplinary committee asked former Rajasthan minister Vishvendra Singh to respond within seven days.
The notice cites allegations including criticism of party leaders and nonparticipation in organisational and election activities.
Singh rejected the action’s framing and said he was free to decide his political future.
Singh announced his exit from Congress on social media, although reports differed on whether a formal resignation was received.
The dispute follows Singh’s criticism of Govind Singh Dotasra over election performance and alleged REET and RAS interview irregularities, which were not established in the reviewed material.
