The Congress party on Saturday, expelled Acharya Pramod Krishnam for a period of six years due to his repeated anti-party remarks.
A statement issued by Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K C Venugopal conveyed, “In view of complaints about indiscipline and repeatedly making statements against the party, Congress president has approved the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee’s proposal to expel Shri Pramod Krishnam for six years with immediate effect.”
Meanwhile, reacting to his expulsion, Acharya Pramod taking to X (formerly twitter), emphasized, “There can be no compromise on Ram and the nation,” and tagged senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi today.
Further, in response to queries regarding his expulsion, Krishnam today informed reporters that he would address a press conference at 1 pm at Kalki Dham in Sambhal. “I do not want to say anything,” he remarked, “at 1:00 pm at Kalki Dham, I will hold a press conference and say whatever I want to there.”
It is pertinent to note that, Krishnam has recently been vocal in his criticism of certain decisions made by the party leadership. Earlier this week, he asserted that the opposition INDIA bloc no longer exists in reality. Krishnam remarked that the bloc “immediately contracted a lot of diseases right after its birth,” ultimately leading to its demise.
“I think there is no such thing as INDIA Alliance,” Krishnam expressed to ANI. “When INDIA alliance was created, it immediately contracted a lot of diseases right after its birth. Then it went to the ICU and ventilator. Nitish Kumar performed its (INDIA) last rites in Patna…I don’t think it exists anymore.”
The expelled Congress leader had also recently met Prime Minister Modi and invited him to the foundation stone laying ceremony of Shri Kalki Dham in Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal on February 19.
