Latest News about Krishna Kumar Janu

09/08/2025

The Rajasthan unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party expelled Krishna Kumar Janu from the party for six years after he publicly criticized its treatment of former Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik and former Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar. Although the party cited his earlier objections to the appointment of Harshini Kulhari as Jhunjhunu district president as the formal reason, the action followed a show-cause notice issued in June 2025 and his failure to satisfy the disciplinary committee with his response. The case drew attention because Janu's remarks had already circulated widely and were seen as a breach of party discipline.
