The Pradesh Congress Committee on Saturday warned rebel candidates to withdraw their nominations for the forthcoming by-elections to 5 of the 12 assembly constituencies in the Telangana region or face disciplinary action.
Rebel Congress candidates have filed their nominations from Dharmapuri, Vemulawada, Sircilla, Huzurabad and Korutla constituencies, denting the prospects of the party's officially-named candidates.
The Congress told the rebel candidates to withdraw their nominations on or before July 12.
The PCC further told the rebel candidates to work and ensure the victory of the official candidates in the interest of the party.
