Former Rajasthan minister gets show-cause notice after he announces exit from Congress

The Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee has issued a show-cause notice to former minister Vishvendra Singh over allegations of indiscipline and anti-party activities, just hours after he publicly announced his exit from the party. The disciplinary committee requested Singh's response within seven days, demanding an explanation for potential disciplinary action, which could include termination of his primary membership.

Singh responded on social media, stating that the party could take action against him and that he was free to decide his own political future. He questioned why the PCC chief Govind Singh Dotasra was criticizing him when he believed Dotasra considered him his elder brother. Among the charges, the Congress alleged that Singh had avoided party events and elections, and that he had instructed the Congress-supported candidate in the Bharatpur Municipal Corporation chairperson election to withdraw, allowing the BJP candidate to win. Singh defended himself, insisting he had always acted with decorum and discipline.
