Cong expels Karnataka MLA for 6 yrs for deciding to join BJP
Congress has expelled MV Guttedar, its MLA from Karnataka's Afzalpur, for 6 years after he decided to join BJP ahead of the state assembly elections. "Only sycophancy is rewarded in the Congress. A six-time MLA like me got nothing from the party, whereas a first-time MLA...was made minister with two-three portfolios," Guttedar said after deciding to join the rival party.
