Chaturvedi axed as Congress spokesperson over comments on Pawar

New Delhi, Mar 17 (ANI): Congress leader Satyavrat Chaturvedi has been removed as party spokesperson over his alleged comments on Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) (NCP) chief and Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar.

Chaturvedi reportedly used 'uncivilised language' during an interview to a news channel two days back while criticising Pawar on the issue of price rise.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) Chairperson Janardhan Dwivedi confirmed the news that Chaturvedi has been removed from the party following his comments on Pawar.

Earlier also, Chaturvedi was caught in the middle of a controversy following his uncharitable remarks against the then Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Amar Singh. (ANI)
