Kanhaiya Kumar has expelled himself from the CPI, the party's general secretary D Raja said on Tuesday moments after the former JNU leader quit the Left party and joined the Congress. He alleged that Kumar was "not truthful" with the Communist Party of India (CPI) leadership and also not "straightforward" in his demands from the party.
"Kumar expelled himself from the party. He was not truthful to the party. The CPI existed long before Kanhaiya came into the party's fold and will continue to exist after his exit," Raja told PTI Raja also questioned Kumar's faith in the Communist ideology. "He must be having personal as well as political ambitions and aspirations. It shows he has no faith in the Communist ideology," the general secretary of the Communist Party of India said.
