Rumors are swirling about the Congress party's future in Bihar. Political observers say the party might face a major setback in the state. The buzz intensified after a recent event that raised serious questions about party unity.
Key Event Highlights Growing Rift
The Bihar Congress unit organized a special 'Dahi-chura' celebration on the eve of Makar Sankranti. This traditional feast was meant to bring together party members and strengthen bonds. However, the event turned into an embarrassment for the leadership.
Not a single one of the six Congress MLAs from Bihar attended the gathering. Their absence sent shockwaves through political circles. Party workers who did attend were left wondering about the MLAs' commitment.
NDA Claims Gain Credibility
The National Democratic Alliance has been claiming that Congress MLAs are ready to switch sides. These claims now appear more credible after the MLAs' no-show. Political analysts say the absence suggests deeper problems within the Congress organization.
Sources close to the MLAs say they had prior engagements. But many believe this explanation lacks conviction. The timing is particularly sensitive with assembly elections approaching.
What This Means for Congress
The Congress party already faces challenges in Bihar. This incident adds to their troubles. If MLAs defect to the NDA, the party's presence in the state assembly could shrink dramatically.
Senior Congress leaders are reportedly trying to contact the absent MLAs. They want to understand their concerns and address any grievances. The party hopes to prevent any defections before they happen.
Political experts note that such developments are common before elections. Parties often try to poach legislators to strengthen their position. The Congress will need to work hard to keep its flock together.
The coming weeks will be crucial for the party's fortunes in Bihar. All eyes are now on the six MLAs and their next moves. The Congress leadership must act quickly to contain the damage.
