Lucknow: Even as the party leadership has claimed to have resolved the internal conflict, it does not seem so as the Congress unit in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri on Wednesday passed a resolution, criticising former Union minister and party’s brahmin face Jitin Prasada and demanding action against him for being one of the signatories of the “dissent” letter written to Sonia Gandhi.
“The District Congress Committee (DCC) demands that disciplinary action should be taken against all those who signed the letter and they should be expelled from the party,” said the resolution passed by Lakhimpur Kheri district Congress committee, according to a report in Hindustan Times.
“All over UP there is only one leader, former minister Jitin Prasada, who has signed the letter. His family has been against the Gandhi family. His father the late Jitendra Prasad had contested the election against Sonia Gandhi. Despite this, Sonia Gandhi gave him a Lok Sabha ticket and he was made a minister. His act is gross indiscipline and action should be taken against him,” said the resolution.
