Aditi Singh was served a show-cause notice after she defied the party whip and attended the special session of the Vidhan Sabha October 2 but she did not give a reply, Misra said.

She was sent a reminder seeking her reply but to no avail, the CLP leader added.

The Congress Sunday expelled 10 senior leaders for opposing the decision of the leadership at a public forum and tarnishing the party’s image.
