The Congress Bihar crisis has grown after the party faced a big defeat in the 2025 elections. The Congress won only six seats, much fewer than the 19 seats it won in 2020. This loss created a strong wave of anger inside the party, turning the situation into a serious Congress Bihar crisis.
Many leaders started protests against state president Rajesh Ram, in-charge Krishna Allavaru, and three secretaries. Senior leader Anand Madhav led a sit-in, demanding their removal. Independent MP Pappu Yadav visited the party office during the protest. As he arrived, workers shouted, “Ticket thieves, go back!” He then walked into the president’s room and sat down. State women’s wing chief Sharbat Jahan resigned from her post.
Protesters held posters saying “Ticket Chor Bihar Chhod.” They asked the high command to take responsibility for the defeat. They demanded action against Rajesh Ram and Krishna Allavaru and also asked for an inquiry into Rahul Gandhi’s travel and election expenses. Some leaders accused the party of financial mismanagement.
Anand claimed that people linked to the BJP, RSS, and JDU entered the Congress through middlemen. He said that wrong ticket distribution damaged real candidates. Recently, 43 leaders received show-cause notices, which increased the anger and led to more chaos at the party office.
