Amid Bihar crisis, Congress leaders unhappy with Rahul

July 27, 2017 18:36

After being pink-slipped along with Lalu Yadav, the Congress branch in Bihar is awash in resentment - not just towards Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who laid off his allies last night, but also for party boss Rahul Gandhi, who was assigned to keep the government in Bihar from sinking.

Gandhi, 47, did not deliver. And along with the result, his party's legislators in Bihar are reportedly giving him an F for Effort.

Sources said that Gandhi displayed an arrogance and disregard for the counsel of his leaders from Bihar - a charge levelled against him in the past in states like Assam where the Congress lost its governments.

In this case, said sources, the Congress' senior-most leader in Bihar, Ashok Choudhary, was kept waiting for three days before Gandhi made the time to see him in Delhi earlier this week.
