Congress Rae Bareli MLA suspended from party’s women’s wing for tweet rebuking party’s ‘cheap politics’

Just hours after Congress MLA from Rae Bareli tweeted slamming her own party for playing ‘cheap politics’ over stranded migrant workers, the Congress suspended MLA Aditi Singh from the position of general secretary of the women’s wing of the party, citing ‘indiscipline’. She is the National In-charge of Priyadarshini, the Congress women’s wing.

There is also a complaint pending with the Uttar Pradesh Assembly as she had attended the October 2019 special session called by Yogi Adityanath government while the Congress called for a boycott of the session protesting against the Centre’s move to abrogate Article 370 and 35A. The party had also called for disqualification of the MLA.

The Congress MLA on Thursday hit out at her party in a tweet for resorting to ‘low-level politics’ at the time of a pandemic. She called it a cruel joke and asked why the party could not use the buses for transporting migrants in Congress ruled / its alliance partner states like Punjab, Rajasthan and Maharashtra.

Aditi Singh in her second tweet said “Where were the so-called buses when thousands of children from UP were stranded in Kota? The Congress government there could not leave the children at the border.” She added that it was Yogi Adityanath who arranged buses overnight and enabled the children to return back home which was praised by Rajasthan Chief Minister.
