Congress Buxar district chief, Manoj Kumar Pandey, has been suspended following Mallikarjun Kharge's rally in Buxar. Pandey attributed the low turnout to the heat, stating that attendees sought shade due to high temperatures. However, party sources have cited poor coordination as the reason for Pandey's suspension. Eyewitnesses reported numerous empty chairs during Kharge's address at the rally. This development comes as the Congress gears up for the crucial Bihar elections scheduled later this year.
