Rebels Aqueel & Nasir from Bhopal North get the axe

Congress has expelled two rebel candidates, Aamir Aqueel and Nasir Islam, from the Bhopal (North) constituency after they refused to withdraw their candidacy in support of the party’s official candidate, Atif Aqueel. These rebels are among the 39 individuals who have been expelled from the party for six years for contesting against the official candidate. Aamir and Nasir have been politically active and are better known among the people and party members, which may affect the party’s chances of winning the seat in Bhopal.
