Rival votes elect BJP leader samiti head, Malda rift surfaces

In a place called Kaliachak, a group of grown-ups had to choose a new leader for their village council.

Three teams were in the race: the BJP team, the Trinamool team, and the Congress team.

The old leader, Anjali, had to stop her job because she was sick.

The Congress team chose Beauty as its candidate for the new leader.

But many members of the Trinamool team and two members of the Congress team voted for Alok, who is on the BJP team.

Alok won, even though he was not his own team's official choice.

Some leaders in Alok's team were angry because they had told him not to run and not to ask other teams for help.

Alok said the other teams insisted that he run, and he promised to quit if his team wanted him to.

Right now, the leaders are still talking about what to do next.
