Bihar Cong chief blames 'some AICC leaders for crisis'

The president of Congress' Bihar unit, Ashok Choudhary, today 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," Ashok Choudhary told PTI.
He, however, did not identify anyone but said "they would be unmasked very soon".
The PCC chief did not go to Delhi on being summoned by Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi for a meeting yesterday to stem the crisis in Bihar arising after the collapse of the Grand Alliance.

The Congress has 27 MLAs in the 243-member Bihar Assembly.
"I did not go to Delhi due to personal reasons," Choudhary said.
He claimed that "from the beginning, forces on behalf of some AICC leaders are working against me. First they mooted the issue of 'one man, one post' against me. I told the party leadership that I am ready to give up ministerial post in favour of the Congress state chief.
