Congress paying price of Mamata Banerjee's expulsion: Ex-West Bengal chief

India Today  

Senior Congress leader Pradip Bhattacharya on Monday said that the party is paying the price for expelling state Chief Minister and Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. Addressing the press, the veteran Congress leader said the then Congress state president Somen Mitra had expelled Banerjee in 1997 following instructions from the then party chief Sitaram Kesri due to her comments against the party line. Mamata Banerjee was expelled from Congress on January 21, 1997, under the presidency of party chief Sitaram Kesri. After the ouster of Mamata Banerjee from Congress, the Grand Old Party has seen a sharp decline in West Bengal.
