Congress Leader Calls “Pen Drive Allegations” a Fabricated Conspiracy

A Congress leader has publicly addressed a controversial CCTV video from the Ranchi Assembly, refuting allegations of a pen drive exchange with Babulal Marandi. The widely broadcasted footage from December 10, 2025, captures the two politicians at a commonly used entrance of the assembly, a location known for its constant activity. The leader categorically stated that the narrative of a pen drive being transferred is completely false and a deliberate distortion of facts. They explained that the conversation was a natural discussion about a published news report, which they themselves intended to bring up in the assembly. The leader highlighted the public and secure nature of the assembly premises, noting the presence of many individuals and continuous CCTV surveillance as evidence against any surreptitious dealings. The leader suggested that this incident is part of an ongoing conspiracy by specific political factions who have allegedly been trying to impede their political career and reputation since they joined the Congress. These factions, they claim, have previously attempted to create divisions and disrupt party unity. The leader concluded by reaffirming their resolve to champion public issues and remain a strong advocate for the common people, irrespective of political opposition.
