Bangalore: Congress Sunday expelled 15 rebel
candidates remained in the fray for the March 28 elections to
the city civic body, Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike
(BBMP).
"The party has taken stern action against the rebels after
they failed to withdraw their nominations and remained in the
fray to fight against the official candidates of the party,"
KPCC Spokesperson Ramachandrappa said.
He said the 15 candidates included four women and two
block Congress presidents in the BBMP area.
He said many aspirants could not be given the ticket to
contest the elections as the party wanted to provide adequate
representation to all sections of society and ensure social
justice.
He expressed confidence that Congress would return to
power emerging as the largest single party in the polls.
