The Bihar unit of the Indian National Congress has issued show‑cause notices to 33 of its functionaries, demanding explanations for alleged violations of party discipline.
Patna – The Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) has formally served show‑cause notices to thirty‑three of its members. The notices, circulated on Thursday, ask the functionaries to justify their actions that are alleged to contravene party rules and directives.
According to a statement released by the BPCC, the notices pertain to a range of issues, including unauthorized public statements, failure to attend mandated meetings, and alleged involvement in activities that could tarnish the party's image.
The party leadership has set a deadline of ten days for the recipients to submit written explanations. Depending on the responses, further disciplinary action, which could include suspension or removal from party posts, may be taken.
The move comes amid internal efforts to tighten discipline ahead of upcoming state elections, where the Congress aims to consolidate its cadre and present a united front against rival parties.
Party officials declined to name individual functionaries, citing privacy concerns, but confirmed that the action reflects a broader strategy to enforce compliance with organisational norms.
