This special report covers the infighting within the Bihar Congress, which erupted into a violent clash between party workers at Patna airport. The chaos was triggered by allegations of corruption in ticket distribution ahead of state elections, with workers confronting senior leaders including Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, state President Rajesh Ram, and CLP leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan upon their arrival from Delhi. The anger is captured in one worker’s allegation that ‘the party has given symbol to someone who has recently joined Congress from BJP, and this clearly shows that how, you know, money has exchanged hands’. The scuffle, which involved supporters of Pappu Yadav, has become a major embarrassment for the party, highlighting deep dissent within its ranks and raising questions over its cohesion before the polls. Reports suggest workers alleged the Bikram assembly seat was sold for Rs 5 crore.
