Three days ahead of the Lok Sabha election in Darjeeling, the Congress party on Tuesday expelled prominent hill leader Binay Tamang for six years for his “anti-party activities”.
The development comes after Mr. Tamang extended support to the BJP’s Darjeeling Lok Sabha seat candidate, Raju Bista.
“Binay Tamang has been expelled from the party for six years for anti-party activities. His suspension will be effective immediately,” Congress leader and former MLA Manoj Chakraborty said.
