Kripa Alva expelled from Congress for six years

The Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee (KPCC) has decided to expel former general secretary Kripa Alva from the party for a period of six years. This decision came after allegations of her involvement in a 'sting operation' targeting Congress leaders. The expulsion notice, issued on October 27, cited anti-party activities and her failure to respond to a show-cause notice.

The incident in question allegedly involved the circulation of a fabricated video containing malicious allegations against Congress former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah. This video was purportedly circulated with the intention of blackmailing and defaming him. Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had filed a complaint against unidentified individuals who were responsible for this malicious act.

Ms. Alva was served with a police notice following the complaint filed by Siddaramaiah. Despite being given the opportunity to respond to the show-cause notice, she did not comply with the request. As a result, the KPCC has decided to expel her from the party for six years.
