The Bihar Congress Disciplinary Committee has issued show-cause notices to several leaders found involved in anti-party activities during the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
According to State Congress Disciplinary Committee Chairman Kapildev Prasad Yadav, these individuals made statements on media and other public platforms during the election period that diverged from the party’s official line, adversely affecting the party’s image, credibility, and electoral performance.
All concerned individuals have been directed to submit their written explanations to the committee by 12 noon on 21 November.
He clarified that if responses are not received within the stipulated time, the committee will be compelled to take strict action, which may include expulsion from the primary membership of the Congress Party for six years.

Earlier, these Congress leaders had demanded resignation of State Congress President Rajesh Ram.
