The Congress meeting scheduled for March 12 in Delhi to discuss Bihar Assembly Elections has been postponed. The meeting was planned to start preparations for the upcoming elections. It was supposed to be attended by Bihar’s new Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and around 30-35 senior party leaders. This meeting was considered very important for Congress in Bihar.
What Was the Meeting About?
The meeting was expected to include:
- State Congress President Akhilesh Prasad Singh
- All 19 Congress MLAs from Bihar
- Other trusted senior leaders
During the meeting, leaders were supposed to:
- Give feedback to Rahul Gandhi about Bihar’s political situation.
- Discuss Congress’ role in the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance).
- Talk about seat-sharing with RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal).
- Plan strategies to strengthen Congress in Bihar.
Why Was the Meeting Postponed?
The official reason given for postponing the meeting is the Holi festival. However, sources suggest that internal differences in the party could be a reason.
Reports indicate that Bihar Congress leaders are unhappy with Kanhaiya Kumar’s upcoming yatra (march). The state leadership was not consulted before finalizing the Youth Congress and NSUI’s march starting from March 16 to April 14.
What is Kanhaiya Kumar’s Yatra About?
- The yatra (march) will focus on issues like unemployment and migration.
- It will begin from Gandhi Ashram in West Champaran and end in Patna.
- Many see this as Kanhaiya Kumar’s comeback in Bihar politics.
Internal Conflicts in Bihar Congress?
With the meeting postponed, many questions are being raised:
- Is there a lack of coordination between Bihar Congress leaders and Kanhaiya Kumar’s yatra?
- Are senior Congress leaders unhappy with Kanhaiya Kumar’s growing role?
The situation suggests that internal politics within Congress might be affecting election preparations in Bihar.
