Congress’s spokesperson for Uttar Pradesh, Anshu Awasthi confirmed the news that Archana Gautam is no longer with the party. He also mentioned that the party took the decision on the grounds of complaints received from the Meerut’s Congress Unit. He said, “She had no political background, yet the party trusted her, gave her respect and honour, and fielded her from Hastinapur constituency. There were frequent complaints of misconduct and misbehaviour from the party workers in Meerut unit who stood by her and supported her in the 2022 Assembly elections. Hence, the party’s disciplinary committee has decided to expel Archana Gautam from the party.”
