The assembly elections in Bihar this year have become very important for Rahul Gandhi, engaged in the campaign to strengthen the Congress. For the past few months, he has been continuously working to show a mirror to Congress workers and leaders. If the BJP’s agents present in the Congress party are chanting to get them out of the party, then they are also asking to put the baseless leaders. Rahul Gandhi’s emphasis is to strengthen the local leadership in the party and for this he is constantly trying to make the post of District President powerful. But the kind of apprehension the author had earlier expressed about the use of the district president, it is now proved to be true.
In fact, despite Rahul Gandhi’s publicly and in the meeting in publicly and closed rooms, the bitter truth is that no action has been taken against any big leader so far. Referring to the failure of the campaigns launched by Rahul Gandhi during the last few years, the Congress leaders are now predicting Rahul Gandhi’s failure this time in Dabi’s tongue. In the year 2022, a three -day contemplation camp held in Udaipur, Rajasthan, which was named ‘Navsankalp Camp’, reminding us of the resolutions taken in many camps and important meetings, now it is also said that Rahul Gandhi is not able to put his brilliant plan on the ground.

But it seems that Mallikarjun Kharge, who is not able to do Rahul Gandhi, has started the age of 82 years. Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge addressed a rally on 20 April. Kharge, while addressing a rally in Sagar in Buxar, Bihar, targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Modi government and Nitish Kumar-BJP coalition government of the state. Kharge tried to connect people with the Congress by giving a speech as a rich leader in a very aggressive manner. But on this enthusiasm and effort of Kharge, only local Congress leaders turned water. Not only was the crowd less in the meeting, but proper arrangements were not made according to the rally. BJP and JDU leaders also took a fierce sarcasm over the crowd of Congress national president Kharge at the rally.
At the same time, angry Kharge told the Bihar Pradesh Congress to take action against the district leadership immediately in view of the lack of proper arrangements in his rally and the low crowd.
On the instructions of Kharge, the party leadership has suspended Buxar district president Manoj Kumar Pandey with immediate effect. In a letter issued by Bihar Pradesh Congress regarding the suspension of Buxar District President, it is said that on 20 April 2025, the team of All India Congress Committee President Mallikarjun Kharge concluded in Buxar at Sagar Sports Ground. There has been a severe lack of preparation of the first visual meeting and a severe lack of coordination in the vicinity. The District Congress Committee did not properly discharge its responsibility. Therefore, Manoj Kumar Pandey is immediately suspended from the post of District Congress Committee President. Kharge has taken strict action against the District President, giving a big political message to the Congress workers and especially the leaders. Kharge’s message is absolutely clear that he is not Rahul Gandhi and will not delay in taking action at all.
