Congress leader Rajkumar Patel,whose nomination against BJP leader Sushma Swaraj from Vidisha seat was rejected,was sacked on Friday as Madhya Pradesh Congress General Secretary.
The action was taken by AICC General Secretary P K Hariprasad for acts of “gross negligence and indiscipline” during the Lok Sabha polls.
Hariprasad said that Patel was being relieved of his charge with immediate effect after a report from AICC observers and the state PCC found him “guilty”.
The AICC had sent party leaders Harikesh Bahadur and Sayeed Ahmed as observers to look into the issue after the central leadership was shocked over the rejection of nomination of Patel.
He had submitted a duplicate of a crucial document instead of the original while filing nomination for the polls.
