Mumbai, Jul 14 (UNI) Indian National Congress leader Sanjay Jha was on Tuesday suspended from the party with immediate effect "for anti-party activities and breach of discipline."

"For five years Sachin Pilot gave his blood, tears, toil and sweat for the Congress party between 2013-18. The Congress came back from a wretched 21 seats to 100. We just gave him a performance bonus. We are so meritocratic. We are so transparent", Mr Jha wrote on twitter.
