There has been a big change in Bihar Congress before the assembly elections. The Congress high command has removed Akhilesh Singh from the post of state president. In his place, party MLA Rajesh Kumar has been appointed as the new state president.

Rajesh Kumar is an MLA from Kutamba in Aurangabad. The NDA has broken the Dalit vote bank of the Congress through Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi. The Congress has tried to bring it back. The previous in -charge devotee Charan Das tried to make him the state president.

After the Lok Sabha elections, former state president of Congress and Anil Sharma, the leader of Lalu Prasad, left the Congress and joined the BJP. Congress state spokesperson Asit Nath Tiwari also considered it right to leave the Congress and go to BJP.
