Simi Rosebell John was expelled from the Kerala Congress for allegedly making derogatory remarks about women leaders within the party, which the KPCC deemed a serious breach of discipline. The decision followed a joint complaint from female members of the KPCC, including leaders of the Mahila Congress, who accused John of attempting to mentally harass and defame them. KPCC President K Sudhakaran confirmed that an investigation would be conducted into the complaints against her. In response, John criticized the party's actions as unfounded and demanded evidence to support the allegations. She also claimed that working women within the Congress party are marginalized and that her criticisms stem from being sidelined by party leadership. The expulsion highlights ongoing tensions within the party regarding the treatment of female leaders and internal power dynamics.
