'He sold all Lok Sabha tickets': Chirag Paswan faces rebellion, 22 leaders quit party

The leaders, who resigned simultaneously, also declared they will support the state's opposition Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) which is part of the larger I.N.D.I.A bloc.

Ex-MP Renu Kushwaha, who is among those who resigned from the Paswan-led party, said that when it comes to ticket allocation, preference should be given to party workers over ‘outsiders.’

“Tickets were given to the outsiders, which means that there are no able people in your party. Are we the labour class people who will work for you, make you a leader? We are not here to serve as labourers,” a miffed Kushwaha said.
