After removing Ashok Kumar Choudhary as Bihar unit chief, the Congress has more than half-a-dozen leaders in race for post of Bihar Pradesh Congress Committee (BPCC) president. While the likes of Dilip Choudhary, an MLC, and Buxar MLA Sanjay Tiwari are proposing their own names, the party is unlikely to name a full-time president before its organisational polls conclude on October 15. For now, Kaukab Qadri is the working president, although his name cannot be ruled out if the party thinks of making a Muslim its state unit president. Other strong contenders from the minority community could be legislators Javed Azad and Shakil Ahmed Khan, and Shakil Ahmed.
