Congress Spokesperson Removed

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Spokesperson CR Kesavan on Sunday hit out at Congress leader Irfan Ansari for his "derogatory remarks" against BJP leader Sita Soren, and asked why he has not been removed from the party yet.

Twitter on Saturday denied a Congress claim that party leader Rahul Gandhi's account had been "temporarily suspended" by the social media platform, adding to the controversy over the removal of an image posted by the MP a day ago.

Hours after Sanjay Jha was suspended from the Congress for "anti-party activities and breach of discipline", he tweeted this morning that his "loyalty is to the Congress ideology". Mr Jha was suspended from the party last night, minutes after he appeared on NDTV's "Left, Right and Centre".

Sanjay Jha, removed as Congress spokesperson after a searing takedown of his own party in an article, doubled down on his criticism today in a tweet referring to Congress icon Jawaharlal Nehru.

Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday removed Sanjay Jha as a party spokesperson, days after he wrote a newspaper article criticising the party. She also approved the appointment of Abhishek Dutt and Sadhna Bharti as national media panelists for the Congress.

Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha has addedto ongoing claims the "indelible" ink used by Election Commission officials to mark the fingers of those who have voted can be easily removed, leading to fears of voter fraud and people voting more than once.

Terming the alleged assault and stripping of a Tanzanian woman in Bengaluru as a case of "racial attack", BJP national spokesperson Meenakshi Lekhi today said Congress chief Sonia Gandhi should have reprimanded the state government and removed the Karnataka chief minister.

Congressman Shashi Tharoor, who was today removed as spokesperson for his party, issued this statement today.
