more-inMore than a month after Sonia Gandhi sacked former Bihar Congress chief Ashok Choudhury, the Congress is yet to appoint a full time unit, leading to rumblings within. Test caseOthers argue that Bihar is a test case on how the Congress’ top leadership decides on State level leaders. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Qadiri denied that the Bihar Congress is deeply divided on the question of leadership. In September, Congress president Sonia Gandhi removed Mr. Ashok Choudhury as Bihar Congress chief after reports emerged that he was trying to persuade 14 of the Congress’s 27 MLAs to switch sides. And that has led to many asking for a stronger State Congress chief.
