'Goli Maar Dunga': Did Congress Leader Threaten Colleague At Party Meeting Over Bihar Election Loss? Know All About The Drama

New Delhi: A Congress meeting to review the loss of the party in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections turned tense on Thursday as leaders reportedly engaged in verbal spat with each other, sources said. The meeting was held in the presence of the Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi at party headquarters in New Delhi.

A heated exchange took place between Engineer Sanjeev Singh and Jitendra Kumar, both of whom lost the elections from their respective constituencies in Bihar, sources said.

‘Goli Maar Dunga…’

As per reports, Vaishali candidate Engineer Sanjeev Singh reportedly threatened to shoot Purnia candidate Jitendra Kumar during an argument at the meeting.  

The argument started when leaders started blaming “outsider” candidates and “friendly fights” for the loss of Congress in Bihar. Sanjeev Kumar's candidature from Vaishali was also an instance of “friendly fight”, since Congress ally Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also fought from the same seat. Ajay Kumar Kushwaha was RJD's candidate from Vaishali.

The argument escalated, with Sanjeev Singh reportedly telling Jitendra Kumar, “Goli maar dunga (I will shoot you).” While sources claimed that Singh lost his cool and threatened Kumar, the former issued a clarification regarding the heated exchange at the meeting.
