In a new twist to the family feud in the Indian National Lok Dal, party patriarch Om Prakash Chautala on Wednesday expelled his elder son Ajay Singh Chautala from the post of secretary general and from the primary membership of the party.

Showing the expulsion orders dated November 12 signed by Chautala, Ashok Arora, state president of the INLD, announced in presence of Leader of Opposition Abhay Singh Chautala that the party waited for two days for implementation of the party patriarch’s orders in the hope of rapprochement.

Reading out the text of Chautala’s letter, Arora said the party supremo had written that “Ajay Singh’s activities have become unbearable and by convening a meeting at Jind for November 17, he (Ajay) had done an unauthorised endeavour”.

Ajay Singh’s expulsion comes two weeks after similar action against his sons, Hisar MP Dushyant Chautala and Digvijay Chautala, for “anti-party activities” during the INLD’s Gohana rally where their supporters had allegedly created a ruckus.

Arora also announced that a meeting of the state executive of the INLD will be held at Jat Bhawan in Chandigarh on November 17. He has asked all MLAs, MPs, state executive members and special invitees to attend.

With the chasm between Chautala brothers widening, any hope of rapprochement seems unlikely now.


‘Black chapter’

"I can’t believe Om Prakash Chautala could have taken such a decision, but if he has, it would be a black chapter in the history of INLD " — Dushyant Singh Chautala, Hisar MP

‘Why such action?’

"Why have I been expelled? I have never misbehaved nor charged with indiscipline…  why wasn’t I shown the letter on Nov 12? Was it a conspiracy"? — Ajay Chautala, expelled INLD leader
