Bengaluru, June 18
The Congress today suspended rebel MLA R Roshan Baig from the party with immediate effect for "anti-party" activities.
"All India Congress Committee has approved the proposal sent by KPCC to take action against R Roshan Baig, MLA, on account of his anti-party activities," the state Congress said in a release.
"He has been suspended from the party with immediate effect, on the basis of inquiry conducted on this matter," it said.
Hitting out at Congress leaders for the party's performance in the Lok Sabha polls, Baig, MLA from Shivajinagar, had recently held Siddaramaiah's "arrogance" and KPCC chief Dinesh Gundu Rao's "immaturity" responsible for the "flop show." He also called AICC general secretary KC Venugopal a "buffoon."
He had also dropped hints of quitting the party, and appealed to Muslims to "compromise" with the situation, on NDA returning to power.
The Karnataka PCC had issued a show cause notice to Baig for his conduct, to which he has not responded.
Earlier in the day, KPCC president Dinesh Gundu Rao had said Baig's alleged links with IMA jewels involved in an alleged financial fraud would be brought to the notice of central leadership. — PTI
