Rajasthan Congress leader suspended

New Delhi/Jaipur : The Rajasthan Congress on Saturday suspended party leader Spardha Chaudhary after she accused state party chief Sachin Pilot of taking money for ticket distribution.

Livid at being denied a ticket despite assurances from the party for fielding her from Phulera, Chaudhary accused Pilot of irregularities in ticket distribution while her supporters staged a demonstration outside Congress President Rahul Gandhi's residence in the national capital.

She has been suspended from the party for six years on grounds of indiscipline, said a party source.

The Congress, which released its second candidate list, fielded Vidyadhar Choudhary from Phuelra.

The 200-member Rajasthan assembly goes to the polls on December 7.
