Congress issues warning to leaders after party chief Kharge’s poster defaced

A day after he snubbed West Bengal Congress chief Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury for questioning TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee’s loyalty to the INDIA bloc, several posters and hoardings of Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge were defaced with ink in front of the party’s state headquarters in Kolkata on Sunday.
Taking serious note of such acts, AICC general secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal said the party would not tolerate such “gross indiscipline”.
“We are taking very serious note of such grave anti-party activities. The Indian National Congress shall not tolerate such public display of defiance and indiscipline. The general secretary in-charge of West Bengal is directed to immediately submit a factual report on these acts of gross indiscipline,” Venugopal said in a statement.
