NEW DELHI: Congress on Sunday suspended Rajasthan leader Bhanwar Lal Sharma, who had called Rahul Gandhi 'MD of Congress circus'.
However, undettered by the action, Bhanwar Lal Sharma continued with his attack and described Rahul as a person who lacked intelligence.
Speaking to Times Now, the rebel Congress MLA claimed that he had the backing of other leaders as well.
Claiming that there was a leadership crisis in the Congress, Bhanwar Lal said that he did the right thing by raising voice against the top leadership.
Bhanwar Lal Sharma had on Saturday described Rahul Gandhi as the "MD of Congress circus" and called him unfit to lead
.
Sharma, a sixth term legislator from Churu district's Sardarshahar constituency, demanded the party introduce internal democracy to choose new leaders. "People around Rahul are jokers and parachute leaders who were thrust in the organization and on the workers from the top. Party leaders need to be elected in a democratic manner." He said Rahul had surrounded himself with English-speaking sycophants.
Bhanwar Lal is the second leader to be suspended from the party for criticizing Rahul.Earlier, former Kerala minister TH Mustafa was suspended from Congress on Thursday for calling Rahul Gandhi a "joker" and saying that he should be removed if he does not resign in the backdrop of the party's debacle in the Lok Sabha polls.
Mustafa, a five-time Congress MLA and former minister for civil supplies, also called for the removal of Gandhi from all party posts and demanded his sister Priyanka Gandhi be made the new leader.
