NDTV
Former Assam Youth Congress chief Angkita Dutta has accused Youth Congress chief BV Srinivas of being "sexist and chauvinistic".
The Assam Congress has issued a show-case notice to a former youth wing chief after she levelled harassment charges against a party colleague. The notice was issued to Angkita Dutta, who accused Youth Congress chief BV Srinivas of being "sexist and chauvinistic", after the National Commission for Women (NCW) asked the Assam Police to probe the charges.
Ms Dutta has been given 24 hours to reply as to why disciplinary action should not be taken against her, according to the notice.
Assam Congress also raised questions over the timing of her allegations, pointing to next month's Karnataka elections, for which Mr Srinivas has been campaigning.
"It has also been found that as long as you were President APYC things were fine. But as soon as you were removed as President APYC due to the electoral process you not only refused to contest the Youth Congress Election but you also started bad mouthing the President IYC for removing you. Such a stand goes against party discipline," the notice read.
