The Bihar unit of the Indian National Congress has served a formal notice to 29 party members accused of violating internal rules, highlighting a widening rift within the state organisation.
Patna, Sept 10 (ANI) – The Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) has issued a written notice to 29 party functionaries, alleging that they have contravened the organisation's internal policy. The notice, circulated among the accused, demands an explanation for actions deemed inconsistent with the Congress' disciplinary code.
Party sources said the move reflects mounting friction between the state leadership and a faction that has been openly challenging decisions taken by the chief ministerial aspirant within the party. While the exact nature of the alleged violations was not disclosed, the BPCC chief warned that non‑compliance could lead to suspension or expulsion.
Analysts note that the notice underscores a deepening split in the Bihar Congress, which has struggled to present a united front ahead of upcoming local elections. The development may compel the central leadership to intervene to restore cohesion.
The BPCC has urged all members to adhere to the party's constitution and refrain from actions that could damage its collective image. A meeting of senior leaders is scheduled later this week to address the issue.
No further details on the identities of the 29 members or the specific infractions have been released as of now.
