Congress suspends Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Chaudhary for ‘anti-party activities’

Hindustan Times  

The Congress on Wednesday suspended Phillaur MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary for allegedly indulging in anti-party activities. Chaudhary has been opposing former chief minister Charanjit Singh Channi’s candidature from Jalandhar. Miffed over being sidelined, Vikramjit’s mother Karamjjit Kaur Chaudhary, who had unsuccessfully contested from the Jalandhar Lok Sabha seat last year, snapped ties with Congress and joined Bharatiya Janata Party on April 20. Vikramjit Singh became MLA from Phillaur in the 2022 assembly polls and became the Chaudhary family’s 16th representative in the Punjab Vidhan Sabha, which also happens to be the state’s 16th assembly.
