Bihar Congress Meeting Violence: Where there was to be welcome, the head burst. Where the organization was to be strengthened, there was a fight. Where solidarity was to be seen, factionalism created such a orgy that the party’s flag was also embarrassed. The organizational meeting of the Congress in Bhojpur, Bihar, drowned in the color of violence when party workers themselves started kicking each other. In the midst of the program itself, the split and frustration inside the party erupted that there were blood splashes throughout the office. There is a common practice with the opponents, but when the workers of the same party make the program’s stage a battlefield, the question arises, is the Congress now entangled in fighting itself? And this time, not a common worker, but all this happened in the presence of Chhattisgarh MLA and All India Congress Committee Secretary Devendra Yadav.
Congress’s reception became a bloody ground
An important organizational meeting was to be held at the Bhojpur District Congress office. Devendra Yadav, who is also the co-integral of Bihar Pradesh Congress, came to Bhojpur. The stage was decorated, a garland of flowers was ready for the reception and the workers were excited. But suddenly the whole atmosphere turned into an instant. As soon as the program started, the two groups started fiercely. The matter grew so much that the violence, scuffle and then headed violence started. The scene which was captured in the camera was not of any rally but of Dangal. Amid shouting slogans, one side pushed the other, then the clashed rained and the chairs started flying in the air. During this time, many Congress workers got their heads, bleeding and there was chaos. The leaders who were going to give a welcome speech on the stage were seen running around in defense.
Factional or conspiracy? Who was the real attacker?
After this entire uproar, MLA Devendra Yadav’s statement was equally shocking. He said, it is necessary to find out whether the battle that took place, was involved in the Congress people or not. Some external miscreants may have deliberately come to create a ruckus. But the question is that if these were outsiders, then who allowed them to enter the Congress office? And if there were Congress workers, then why is the party shying away from recognizing its own people? Devendra Yadav further said that the administration should have given security. He surrounded Nitish Sarkar in clear terms and said, if the workers have been attacked today, then tomorrow we can also be on the leaders. Who will save us? That is, the internal dispute of the Congress came to light on one side, and on the other side there was a direct attack on the Nitish government.
A garland of blood -soaked hands and flowers
At the time when Devendra Yadav was to be welcomed, the workers were tearing each other’s clothes. A few minutes later, when the atmosphere calmed down slightly, then the same garland of flowers, the same cameras shine and the same smiles returned. But the blood that kept dripping behind that smile was captured in every camera. This dual picture of Congress has now gone viral on social media. It can be clearly seen in the video how the workers are abusing each other, killing and then a reception program is also being held in the same hall. Now the public is asking questions, the party that cannot handle itself, what will Bihar handle?
Indication of deep breakdown of Congress?
This incident of Bhojpur is not an exception, but the hallmark of the deeper internal crisis which is seen in every state of the Congress today. On the one hand, the high command is trying to bring the party back on the track, while the workers at the districts and state level are entangled in a mutual fight. In a state like Bihar, where the Congress could get the benefit of being part of the opposition alliance, anarchy and dissatisfaction is emerging inside the organization. Political analysts are clearly saying, if the Congress continues to fight with itself, then the public will stop taking it seriously.
Who is responsible? Democracy is seeking answers
There was no arrest, nor any major action after this accident. Only rhetoric and accusation.
Despite the activists being injured, no FIR has been lodged against anyone.
At the same time, everyone from district leadership to state level is silent.
Devendra Yadav raised a finger on the administration, but will the Congress itself get the entire incident investigated?
Will the workers be identified?
Will the factionalists take action?
Or in the next program, some head will erupt again, then garland will be worn, and then the same old drama will be repeated?
Bhojpur incident opened the real face of Bihar Congress
This whole incident has made one thing clear, the leadership crisis in the Congress is not only above, but has spread to the bottom. There is no coordination among the workers, the factionalism is at its peak, and everyone is crushing each other in the race to please the high command. This meeting of Bhojpur is the dreadful glimpse of the working style of the Congress which the party wanted to hide, but now the whole world has seen it. Because when the party’s office becomes an arena, then the oldest party of democracy also becomes a spectacle. And then the public decides that no longer has to be trusted, just to see when and how the Congress now breaks itself.
