Bihar Congress Chaos: Allegations Fly Over Rajya Sabha Poll Absences

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.
