Bihar Cong Chief Ashok Choudhary Removed From Post by Sonia Gandhi

Choudhary had accused “some” AICC leaders of fuelling rebellion against him with “false propaganda”.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi today relieved Ashok Choudhary from the post of Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee chief.

Earlier this month Choudhary had accused “some” AICC leaders of fuelling rebellion against him with the “false propaganda” that he was making attempts to split the party.

Some AICC leaders are behind the crisis in the Congress in Bihar…they are fuelling rebellion against me by alleging that I am making attempts to break the party in favour of Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) to replace me from PCC president’s post with their favourite.
