According to sources, the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) found the woman's allegations "baseless and politically motivated".
The Assam Congress has suspended its former youth wing chief, who accused the Indian Youth Congress president Srinivas BV of harassment and discrimination. She has been expelled for six years for "anti-party" activities.
The BJP hit out at the grand old party, taking a swipe at its "model of women empowerment". The ruling party also called Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's slogan "ladki hoon lad sakti hoon (I'm a woman, I can fight)" hollow.
"This is Congress's model of women empowerment! Sack the woman who alleged harassment instead of providing a platform to hear her grievances. The manner in which she has been removed from the Congress is uninspiring for women.
ladki hoon lad sakti hoon is a hollow slogan," BJP said.
