Ajay Rai alleges that the former Congress president was removed from his own party a few months before the 2027 electoral battle, after a history of opposing BJP ministers and winning three Lok Sabha elections against Narendra Modi.
Ajay Rai, a senior political commentator, has publicly claimed that the former Congress president was ousted from his own party a few months before the 2027 electoral contest. The claim points to a political purge that followed the leader’s repeated clashes with BJP ministers.
The former president, known for his opposition to the Yogi government in Varanasi and for defeating Narendra Modi in three Lok Sabha elections, had long been a thorn in the side of the ruling party. His tenure was marked by vocal criticism of the BJP’s policies and a strong base among certain voter groups.
According to Rai, the party’s decision to remove the former president was a strategic move to consolidate power ahead of the 2027 elections. The timing of the dismissal, just months before the national polls, suggests a calculated effort to sideline a potential rival.
Political analysts warn that such intra-party expulsions could signal deeper fractures within the Congress, potentially weakening its position in the upcoming elections. The move may also embolden the BJP’s narrative of a unified front against dissenting voices.
