The Jodhpur District Congress Committee has suspended 25 party members for six years, stripping them of all posts and responsibilities ahead of the 2026 municipal elections.
The Jodhpur District Congress Committee announced a disciplinary action that will see 25 party members expelled from primary membership for a period of six years. The decision, reported by Amar Ujala, removes all party posts and responsibilities held by the expelled members.
The expulsions are linked to internal disagreements surrounding the upcoming 2026 municipal elections in Jodhpur. Party officials said the move aims to enforce discipline and present a unified front ahead of the polls.
The affected members will be barred from participating in any Congress activities, including campaigning and internal decision‑making, until the suspension period ends. The committee did not disclose the individual names of those expelled.
The action underscores the Congress party's effort to tighten internal control as it prepares for the municipal elections, which are expected to be closely contested in Rajasthan's second‑largest city.
No further comment was obtained from the expelled members or senior party leaders at the time of reporting.
