Former Maharashtra MLA Ashish Deshmukh on May 25 criticised the Congress for expelling him and said the action showed the party's state unit was in the hands of wrong people.
The State Congress recently expelled Mr. Deshmukh from the party for six years over his public statements against the party leadership. The order of expulsion was issued to Mr. Deshmukh by senior Congress leader and Former Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, Chairperson of the State Congress Disciplinary Committee, through a letter dated May 22.
