Navjot Kaur Sidhu expelled from Congress, days after she ‘quit’ party - The Hindu
Navjot Kaur Sidhu has been officially expelled from the Indian National Congress just days after she announced her decision to leave the party. The Congress leadership stated that her removal was due to repeated acts of indiscipline and public criticism that allegedly harmed the party’s image and internal unity. Her expulsion follows a long period of strained relations between Sidhu and senior party leaders in Punjab. Navjot Kaur Sidhu, wife of former Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, had earlier voiced dissatisfaction with the party’s functioning and leadership decisions. Over the years, she remained vocal on political and organisational issues, often taking positions that differed from the party line. The Congress high command clarified that the decision was taken after careful consideration and in accordance with party rules. The development adds another chapter to the ongoing political churn within Punjab Congress, especially as the party attempts to regroup ahead of future elections.
