After Bihar Results, Turmoil Erupts Inside Congress and INDIA Alliance

The Congress Party is experiencing severe internal strife following the outcome of the Bihar Assembly election. The party seems shocked, and these kinds of circumstances frequently lead to internal disputes.

Party members who are dissatisfied have begun publicly challenging the leadership. Workers staged a vigorous protest on Friday at the Congress office in Patna's Sadaqat Ashram. The state leadership was the target of slogans.

A senior leader arrived at the office to calm the irate employees during this disturbance. He even tried to defuse the situation by sitting on the floor with them, but the workers wouldn't listen and started yelling things like "Leave the Chair" and "Go Back."

43 members of Congress received show-cause notices, which served as the initial catalyst for the uprising. These included a number of top leaders, former ministers, and former MLAs. A sit-in protest at the party headquarters was the outcome of the leadership's move, which caused significant discontent.

The state party president and the state in-charge were to be removed, according to protesters. Loud disputes, accusations, and pandemonium within the office were among the incidents that were filmed, which were extremely embarrassing for the party.

Leaders were accused by workers of intimidating them and disregarding their complaints. They maintained that "outsiders" should not meddle and that only devoted party members should be given opportunity.

Many questioned why those in charge of choosing candidates, coordinating alliances, and organizing campaigns were not held accountable. They contended that rather than after defeat, action ought to have been taken at the ticket distribution phase.

Additionally, employees noted that leaders hired from outside the state were often replaced in the middle, which resulted in disarray. Before the polls, a number of leaders set up camp in Bihar, but by then it was too late to properly handle the situation.

The delay in reflecting on the outcomes was also criticized. They contend that Congress employees ought to have voiced concerns far sooner, particularly during ticket allocation and alliance talks.

Tensions within the INDIA coalition have also increased in Uttar Pradesh. Akhilesh Yadav should take over as coalition leader, according to a top Samajwadi Party politician. Additionally, he issued a warning that the SP will run alone in the next Maharashtra municipal elections if the alliance did not allot enough seats.

He contended that the party president continued to organize over two dozen rallies and select numerous prominent campaigners in spite of being denied even one seat in Bihar. He emphasized that local body elections were not covered by the coalition pact, which only pertained to Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections.

Parties are moving in different directions, raising questions about whether the INDIA coalition actually exists in spirit. Growing disparities indicate a deterioration in unity and the emergence of internal disputes.

The alliance appears to be a loose coalition of groups with conflicting objectives, according to some political analysts. They added that the alliance's leadership claims ought to be based on election results. For example, any party hoping to take the helm of the alliance must first demonstrate success in their home state.

Discussions over which politicians can actually boost the coalition and which ones would undermine it are ongoing as significant elections in several states draw near. Internal conflicts seem to be more powerful than unity at the moment.
