In a series of tweets, Assam Youth Congress chief Angkita Dutta on Tuesday had claimed that Srinivas BV was a “sexist and chauvinistic” person, who has been harassing her and discriminating based on gender. “@IYC
President @srinivasiyc has continually harassed me and has been discriminating on the basis of my gender. My values and education don’t allow me to suffer anymore. The leadership has played deaf ears despite bringing the issue in front of them many times,” Dutta wrote in a tweet.
Dutta further said despite several complaints, no enquiry committee was initiated against Srinivas. She also stated that Srinivas was trying to defame her by spreading posters featuring her with BJP leaders. “They want to throw me out of the party,” the Congress leader alleged.
Dutta filed a complaint against Srinivas at the Dispur police station on Wednesday, alleging Srinivas was “harassing and torturing her for the last six months by making sexist comments, using slang words and also threatening her with dire consequences if she keeps complaining against him to the senior party office bearers” an FPJ report mentioned.
Following her complaint, Angkita Dutta was expelled from the party on Saturday.
