Bihar Congress leaders clash during election review meeting
In Bihar, India, some leaders of the Congress party had a big fight during a meeting to talk about why they didn't do well in the recent elections.
Around 500 leaders were there, including the party's chief and a former leader.
The fight started because they disagreed about who should have been given the chance to run for office.
Some people were shouting and even hitting each other, but the senior leaders stopped it and the meeting continued.
The central leadership of the Congress party is not happy about this and has asked for a report.
This happened just a couple of months after the Congress party and its allies did poorly in the elections, winning many fewer seats than before.
The party has already taken action against some leaders for not supporting the party during the elections.
Bihar Congress leaders clashed during an election review meeting in Madhubani.
The incident involved around 500 leaders, including Bihar party chief Rajesh Ram and former leader Shakeel Ahmad Khan.
The fight started due to a disagreement over ticket distribution during the November Assembly polls.
The central Congress leadership has sought a report on the scuffle.
The Congress's seats in the Bihar Assembly dropped to six from 19 in the recent elections.
