The Congress party has expelled a senior leader after allegations that he was linked to liquor smuggling in Madhya Pradesh. The decision was announced by party officials during a meeting in the state. The expulsion follows accusations that the leader facilitated or benefited from illicit liquor trade, a serious offence under Indian law. The Bharatiya Janata Party has seized on the incident, accusing Congress of harboring individuals with criminal ties, and has called for a thorough investigation.
