Udupi: All India Congress Committee (AICC) member Amrith Shenoy was expelled from Congress party for a period of six years for anti party activities on Saturday, April 6.

Pramod Madhwaraj is the candidate of the Congress-JD(S) coalition in Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency. However, not happy with the party’s decision with regard to JD(S), Shenoy had filed his nomination for Udupi-Chikkamagaluru Lok Sabha constituency as an independent candidate on Tuesday, March 26.

As an aspirant for the Congress ticket in the constituency, Mr Shenoy had openly expressed his unhappiness on the seat being offered to JD(S) despite the Congress having a better chance at winning here. All attempts by Pramod Madhwaraj, failed to pacify Mr Shenoy, who though expressed happiness over Madhwaraj’s candidature, did not relent.
