Acharya Pramod Krishnam is expelled by the Congress for six years due to “anti-party statements” and “indiscipline.”

Acharya Pramod Krishnam was banned from the Congress for the next six years by the high command on Saturday, as per the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee’s decision. The ancient party acknowledged the disciplinary allegations as well as Acharya’s criticisms of the party.

The Congress sent a press release stating, “Hon’ble Congress President has approved the proposal of Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee to expel Shri Pramod Krishnam from the party for six years with immediate effect in view of the complaints of indiscipline and repeated statements against the party.”

Remarkably, Acharya had openly vented his anger at his party refusing to attend the Ram Temple pran pratishtha function in Ayodhya even though the committee had invited them. In light of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, he sometimes chastised his party for taking a hesitant stance.

He also met with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi a few days ago to extend an invitation to them to attend the February 19 foundation-laying ceremony for Kalkidham in the Sambhal district of Uttar Pradesh. In this sense, he also met Rajnath Singh. Many thought Acharya was supporting the BJP, but he insisted that his trips were only meant to extend an invitation to them.

A prominent member of the Congress in Uttar Pradesh was Acharya Pramod Krishnam. He ran against Rajnath Singh in the 2019 Lok Sabha election, claiming the Lucknow seat. Despite losing the election, he received 1.8 lakh votes.

Acharya Pramod Krishnam ran an unsuccessful campaign from Uttar Pradesh’s Sambhal in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.

When Priyanka Gandhi led the party in Uttar Pradesh, Acharya was an important component of her team.
