Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee disciplinary committee on Monday expelled former minister A Chandra Shekar from the party for a period of 6 years. Chandrasekar had contested as All India Forward Bloc candidate in the recent Assembly elections from Vikarabad constituency when he was not given a party ticket. He came third, losing to TRS’ Anand Methuku.


A five-time MLA, he was a former minister in the first YS Rajashekhar Rao government. Chandrasekhar Rao is the second party member from the constituency to be expelled; the disciplinary committee had a couple of days ago removed D Skylab Naik, a former PCC secretary.
