A day after he raised allegations that his opponents in the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) were conspiring to murder him, NCP leader and MLA Thomas K. Thomas was removed from the working committee of the party on Tuesday.
NCP president Sharad Pawar in a letter addressed to Mr. Thomas cited “serious indiscipline” committed by the Kuttanad MLA for taking the disciplinary action.
Mr. Thomas on Monday lodged a complaint with State Police Chief Sheikh Darvesh Sahib alleging that former NCP working committee member Reji Cherian had hatched a conspiracy to kill him with the help of Thomas Kuruvila, who was the MLA’s driver until a few months ago. Mr. Thomas who is at loggerheads with the State NCP leadership said the plan was to eliminate him and facilitate a bypoll in the Kuttanad Assembly constituency.
