With several Congress rebels in the fray for Maharashtra Assembly polls slated for November 20, Senior party leader Ramesh Chennithala has firmly ruled out all possibilities of any "friendly fights" at a press conference held here on Thursday at Tilak Bhavan where he announced that all party rebels contesting against official candidates of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) have been suspended for six years.

He said that all district units of the Congress have been asked to prepare a list of MVA rebels still in the fray for the state assembly polls and serve notices to them.
The statement was issued immediately after a Congress campaign committee meeting which was presided over by Chennithala. The Maharashtra campaign committee meeting was chaired by campaign committee head and MP Chandrakant Handore and attended by committee co-ordinator and Maharashtra state vice president Nana Gawande, besides other members.
