Congress Issues Show-Cause Notices to 43 Leaders for Anti-Party Activities in Bihar Elections

The Congress party has emphasized that discipline and unity remain top priorities within their organization.

Patna:

On Tuesday, the Congress issued show-cause notices to 43 leaders, including several former ministers, over allegations of engaging in anti-party activities during the Bihar assembly elections.

According to an official release from the Congress, the party's Disciplinary Committee has delivered these notices to leaders who made statements that deviated from the party's official position.

Among those receiving notices are former minister Veena Shahi, AICC member Madhurendra Kumar Singh, former state Congress general secretary Kaisar Khan, ex-MLA Sudhir Kumar, and former MLC Ajay Kumar Singh.

Kapil Dev Prasad Yadav, who serves as President of the state Congress' Disciplinary Committee, stated: "All the leaders have been directed to submit written clarification to the committee by noon on November 21." He further warned that failure to respond within this timeframe would result in severe disciplinary measures, potentially including six-year expulsions from primary party membership.

The committee has emphasized that maintaining discipline and unity represents fundamental priorities for the Congress party, and any actions undermining these principles will face serious consequences.
