A.S. Patil Nadahalli, suspended MLA from Devarahipparagi constituency in Vijayapura district, is likely to be expelled from the Congress for repeatedly embarrassing the party by indulging in anti-party activities.

Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, Karnataka Pradesh Congress Committee president and Home Minister G. Parameshwara said the party would take stern action against Mr. Nadahalli, who has been repeatedly indulging in anti-party activities.
