Bihar Congress workers to protest in Delhi over leadership, ticket distribution
Bihar Congress leaders plan a Delhi protest on Sept 8, demanding removal of state in-charge and chief over alleged disorder and arbitrary ticket distribution.
A section of Bihar Congress leaders and workers is set to hold a protest in New Delhi on September 8, demanding the removal of the party's state in-charge and the Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) chief. The move follows internal dissent over the handling of the recent Assembly election process.
In a letter dated August 15, the workers alleged widespread "disorder" within the BPCC during the election period. They specifically accused the party's in-charge of acting arbitrarily in the distribution of tickets, a decision that has reportedly caused friction within the state unit.
The planned protest underscores growing discontent within the Bihar Congress ranks. The workers are seeking a change in leadership to address what they describe as organisational mismanagement and a lack of transparency in candidate selection.
The development comes as the Congress party looks to strengthen its position in Bihar ahead of future electoral contests. The protest is expected to draw attention to the internal challenges facing the state unit and could prompt a response from the party's central leadership.
