In Patna, the capital of Bihar, the state's Congress president Rajesh Kumar has called upon all district presidents and working presidents of the party to evaluate their performance in the recently-concluded assembly elections. The Congress party had a disappointing outcome, managing to win only six out of the 61 seats it contested. This is the second consecutive assembly election where the party's performance has been lackluster, having won only 19 out of 70 seats in the 2020 Bihar assembly election.
The state Congress president has directed the district presidents to hold review meetings in their respective districts at the earliest, to conduct a fair and thorough analysis of the political, organizational, and regional factors that led to this result. They have been instructed to discuss various aspects such as voter turnout, activities at the booth level, organizational strength, campaign strategies, local issues, and the conditions of their alliance. The district presidents have also been asked to submit detailed reports of their reviews to the state Congress office without delay.
In the midst of this, the Bihar Congress has taken strict action against seven leaders, expelling them from the party for a period of six years. They have been accused of damaging the party's reputation by making baseless and misleading statements about ticket selling during the election. The decision was taken by the disciplinary committee chairman Kapildeo Prasad Yadav, who also clarified that the party had been completely transparent in addressing the concerns raised by these leaders.
The leaders who have been expelled from the party include Aditya Paswan, former vice president of Congress Seva Dal, Shakeelur Rahman, former vice president of state Congress, Raj Kumar Sharma, former president of Kisan Congress, Raj Kumar Rajan, former president of state Youth Congress, Kudan Gupta, former president of the party's EBC cell, Kanchana Kumari, district president of Banka, and Ravi Golden from Nalanda district.
In another development, Congress MP Tariq has urged the party leadership to conduct an unbiased review of the entire ticket distribution process. He has demanded strict action against those found guilty of any irregularities at any level. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to visit Ayodhya on November 25 to offer prayers and hoist the saffron flag at the Ram Temple. This news comes after the BJP has secured the Home portfolio in Bihar for the first time since 2005, marking a significant shift in the state's political landscape.
Speaking on the party's defeat, Tariq added, "We have suggested that the state Congress hold a meeting to discuss the entire election process and results, and analyze how we suffered such a huge defeat. After all, our party is a national one." The Congress party in Bihar seems to be facing a challenging time, and it remains to be seen how they will strategize and rebuild their strength in the state.
