Mandya: Even as the contest between Actress Sumalatha, wife of late actor-turned politician Ambarish, who is contesting as an-independent candidate and JD(S) candidate Nikhil Kumaraswamy, son of Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, is getting hotter by the day, the Congress on Sunday expelled its six office-bearers of the district for anti-party activities and for campaigning for Sumalatha in violation of the party diktat.
The expelled leaders are Aravind Kumar, District Youth Congress Vice-President, Chandrashekar, Melukote Block Congress President, Sharath Ramanna, Nagamangala Congress President, Vijaya Kumar, Mandya Assembly constituency Congress President, Krishnegowda, Malavalli Block Congress Vice-President and Mahadev Prasad, General Secretary of Malavalli Block Congress.
