These included BCC members of Karsog, Mandi Sadar, Manali,

Nalagarh, Pachad and Arki blocks. "We have taken action in the cases where the block and District Congress Committee had already sent their reports and recommendations and the action has been taken in accordance with provisions in party's constitution", he said. Similar action would follow in case of other leaders whose names have been given for disciplinary action by the BCCs and DCCs for working against the party candidates in the recent assembly polls, Sukku said and asserted that indiscipline and corruption would not be tolerated. Sukku, who took over as HPCC chief after the resignation of Virbhadra Singh on January 15, started his innings by suspending the newly elected Congress MLA from Doon Ram Kumar (accused in Jyoti murder case) and simultaneously asked the BCCs and DCCs to send the lists of office bearers booked in criminal cases to HPCC by March 15. "There would zero tolerance in cases of crime against women and corruption and all the leaders allegedly involved in such cases would be removed from party posts", he said. He said that the Congress party has returned to power on the plank of fighting against corruption and it was an effort to carry forward AICC Vice President Rahul Gandhi's thought and a part of "clean up " drive. Asked about the fate of the MLAs who may be facing criminal cases, he said, "this would be handled by the Congress Legislature Party" but the party would give its inputs.
