Bihar Congress Chief Awaiting Order of HIs Departure?

Recently, the 137th Jayanti of Sri Krishna Prasad, the first Chief Minister of Bihar from the Indian National Congress, was celebrated with significant enthusiasm at Sadakat Ashram in Patna. The state Congress president, Akhilesh Prasad Singh, made extensive arrangements for the event, which was seen as a demonstration of his influence and control over the party at the state level. However, the program carried an ironic twist source says. Two senior leaders from the Congress party in Delhi, both belonging to the Jat community, were invited as representatives. These individuals had played a pivotal role in orchestrating a controversial letter signed by 23 party leaders that challenged the authority of the current leadership. Their presence at the event raised eyebrows among many, especially since it was well-known that there is hardly any Jat voter in Bihar. This move led to varied interpretations among the senior Congress leaders present in the state. Some commented on the apparent contradiction of inviting representatives from a community that does not have a significant electoral presence in Bihar source says. Others speculated that by extending this invitation, Akhilesh Prasad Singh was effectively making a statement about his dissent towards the party's top leadership. They hinted that this could signal a potential increase in the number of signatories challenging the current leadership if Singh were to face removal from his position. Such actions could indicate a brewing factionalism within the party, further complicating the already tense dynamics in Bihar's political landscape source says.
