Top leaders, including Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi, met with candidates and state officials to analyze the shortcomings. Among the primary concerns raised were delays in finalizing seat-sharing agreements within the Mahagathbandhan alliance, alleged electoral malpractices, and a significant cash incentive program introduced by the state government. Candidates shared their perspectives, highlighting how the Rs 10,000 bonanza for women voters, internal party rifts, and what they termed as ‘electoral malpractices’ contributed to the dismal performance. The meeting also included state party president Rajesh Ram, AICC Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, MPs Akhilesh Prasad Singh and Tariq Anwar, and Independent MP Pappu Yadav. These discussions aimed to pinpoint the exact reasons behind the heavy electoral setback that saw the Congress secure only six out of 61 contested seats.
