Published: May 13 2025, 3 ameznews.inIn a significant political upheaval just days before Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visit to Bihar, 17 prominent leaders from Katihar district have defected to the BJP, raising concerns about Congress's viability in the state. The defections, spearheaded by Vikas Singh of the INTUC, come amid serious allegations against senior Congress figure Tariq Anwar, accused of fostering an "anti-upper caste mentality."

He warned of further defections, stating that many more Congress workers are poised to join the BJP. This exodus poses a significant challenge for Anwar, whose credibility and traditional support base are now at risk, particularly with upcoming assembly elections on the horizon. The situation underscores the internal discontent within Congress and the potential erosion of its influence in a region long considered a stronghold.
