Congress has removed Rahul Jaiswal, who led the party’s youth wing for six years, following his arrest in connection with the illegal liquor trade and the death of TI Dileep Puri in Devas, Madhya Pradesh.
Congress on Monday announced the expulsion of Rahul Jaiswal, who served as the state Youth Congress president for six years, after his arrest in a probe into illegal liquor operations in Devas, Madhya Pradesh.
Jaiswal was detained by police in connection with the death of local political activist TI Dileep Puri, who allegedly fell victim to the illicit liquor network operating in the Kahetgaon area of Devas.
The party’s spokesperson said the decision reflects Congress’s zero‑tolerance stance toward members implicated in criminal activities and that a disciplinary committee reviewed the case before recommending removal.
Political analysts note that the move may impact the party’s standing in the region ahead of upcoming local elections, while local residents hope the crackdown will curb the illegal liquor trade that has plagued the area.
