Ranchi, March 22: The political landscape in Jharkhand has become increasingly tumultuous following the expulsion of prominent Congress leader and former minister Yogendra Sahu from the party. His daughter, Amba Prasad, who serves as the national secretary of Congress, has openly challenged the party leadership and the state coalition government, making serious allegations against them.
During a press conference at the Ranchi Press Club, Amba Prasad stated that the actions taken against her father were entirely one-sided, coerced, and executed without due process. She claimed that no notice was given, nor was his side of the story heard. Amba dismissed the state Congress leadership’s assertion that Yogendra Sahu had received prior warnings, insisting that her father had already informed the party leadership about the situation but received no support in return.
On March 20, the Jharkhand Pradesh Congress Committee expelled Yogendra Sahu from the primary membership of the party for three years, citing allegations of indiscipline. The party’s disciplinary committee deemed his comments made on social media and Facebook Live against Chief Minister Hemant Soren and the coalition government as violations of organizational rules.
Amba Prasad also highlighted the demolition of their residence in the NTPC Chatti Bariyatu coal mine project area in Barkagaon. She condemned this action as ‘tyrannical,’ stating that their home was destroyed without proper compensation and while a case was still pending in court, which has harmed her family’s dignity.
She raised concerns about why the report from the committee formed to investigate the matter has not yet been made public. Amba accused the Congress leadership, the coalition government, and the police-administration of targeting her family, alleging that they have been falsely implicated in cases for raising their voices on displacement issues.
Furthermore, she claimed that Yogendra Sahu received threats and was told that his political career would be ended. Amba Prasad announced her intention to approach the central leadership of Congress to seek justice, asserting that the decision for her father’s expulsion was made under pressure.
