The leaders claimed they had been trying to meet Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to present their side of the story, but had not been given an appointment.
The simmering tensions in the Bihar Congress since last
year’s defeat in the Assembly elections appear to be bubbling over as a group
of the party’s state leaders say that they plan to hold a protest outside the
All India Congress Committee (AICC) office in New Delhi on September 8 to
demand the removal of state Congress president Rajesh Ram and AICC’s Bihar
in-charge Krishna Allavaru over alleged corruption.
Among these disgruntled
leaders are party spokesperson Anand Madhav, former MLA Chhatrapati Yadav, and
former Bihar Youth Congress chief Rajkumar Rajan, who are among the nine
expelled from the party for six years on February 18. They have challenged their
expulsion, saying the state unit cannot expel them without due approval from
the AICC disciplinary committee.
