Congress suspends MLA Sulbha Khodke for ‘anti-party activities’

Maharashtra Congress has suspended Sulbha Khodke, Amravati MLA, for six years due to her dissent, including cross-voting against the party in legislative council elections, leading to Jayant Patil’s defeat. State chief Nana Patole confirmed the decision, citing Khodke’s continuous anti-party activities. Sources suggest Khodke may join Ajit Pawar’s faction of the NCP.
