Bihar Congress Chaos: Allegations Fly Over Rajya Sabha Poll Absences

Bihar Congress president Rajesh Kumar Ram accused absent MLAs of succumbing to NDA pressure during the Rajya Sabha polls. Two MLAs denied this, claiming they were advised to act by conscience. The situation led to NDA's sweep of all five seats, sparking controversy and alleged internal miscommunication.

Bihar Congress president Rajesh Kumar Ram has accused the party's absent MLAs of yielding to pressure from the NDA during the recent Rajya Sabha elections, which resulted in an NDA sweep of all five seats.

However, at least two of the three absentee MLAs disputed the accusation, asserting that Ram had instructed them to 'act as per conscience,' leading to their absence due to ideological discontent with the RJD candidate.

The incident underscores potential internal misunderstandings within the party, adding tension to the ongoing political landscape in the state as the Congress grapples with its standing amid NDA's dominance.
