Patna: Bihar Congress leader and former MLA Bharat Singh has claimed that 11 legislators of the Congress can leave the party. Singh said that out of the 19 MLAs, there are 11 MLAs who are not originally from the Congress party. "These people have just paid money and bought tickets and have now become MLAs," he alleged.
Congress leader Bharat Singh claimed that 11 Congress MLAs want to leave the party. "Congress state unit President Madan Mohan Jha, Rajya Sabha member Akhilesh Prasad Singh and senior Congress leader Sadanand Singh may also exit," he added."I have always been against the Congress alliance with the RJD," Singh said adding that the alliance could be self-destructive to the party. The Congress party high-command has always been given a wrong picture of the situation of the party in Bihar," Singh claimed.
He also accused Congress Rajya Sabha member Akhilesh Prasad Singh, Congress state president Madan Mohan Jha and senior Congress leader Sadanand Singh of being involved in anti-party activities.
Responding to Bharat Singh's claim, JDU leader Rajiv Ranjan, said that the Congress is in a state of 'coma.' "Shakti Singh Gohil may have sensed the mayhem in the party that is why he requested to be relieved from his responsibilities," said Ranjan. Congress leader should save their party which doesn't seem to be an easy task, he added.
