‘Unfortunate’: Suspended Congress MLA after party serves him show-cause notice

Former MLA Ashish Deshmukh has termed as “unfortunate” the show-cause notice issued to him by the Maharashtra Congress disciplinary committee, claiming it was part of a “larger conspiracy” since he had been questioning the style of functioning of the party leaders. Deshmukh further claimed that by issuing him an “unfounded” notice without any substantial reason, the state Congress has insulted the party’s democratic spirit which it is known for since more than a century.
The Maharashtra Congress recently suspended Deshmukh from its primary membership for his public statements against the party leadership in the state. Deshmukh is a former Bharatiya Janata Party MLA from Katol in Nagpur who later joined the Congress. He was the Congress nominee against BJP leader and now Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis from the Nagpur South West seat in the 2019 Assembly polls.
He is the son of former state Congress chief Ranjit Deshmukh.
