Congress in a tussle over ticket for Kedarnath by-election! Candidates will go to Delhi and complain
There has been a ruckus in the Congress over the observers sending the panel of candidates for the Kedarnath by-election to Delhi. Under this, the observers have prepared a panel of names of the candidates and sent it directly to Delhi instead of the State Congress Committee. After which there has been a ruckus in the party.
Ruckus in Congress
The Congress top leadership had nominated four observers for the Kedarnath by-election. It is being told that the observers have sent the panel of names of the candidates directly to the state in-charge Kumari Shailaja. Congress state president Karan Mahara has objected to this. At the same time, other claimants for the ticket in the by-election on the Kedarnath assembly seat have also opened a front against the observers.
There has been a ruckus in the party over the observers sending the report directly to Delhi instead of Dehradun. What report has been sent to the state in-charge about the panel of names? Karan Mahara also did not know this. On this whole matter, Congress state president Karan Mahara says that this will be discussed in the meeting to be held in Delhi.
He said that it has always been the tradition of the party that the observers submit their report to the State Congress Committee. After that the PCC sends it to the central leadership by attaching a recommendation letter to that report. He said that the state in-charge must have asked for the report directly after thinking about it. Because, Kedarnath by-election is a technical election. Keeping this in mind, Kumari Selja must have taken this decision.
Contender from Kedarnath seat Sheeshpal Singh Bisht opens front
Meanwhile, Congress state spokesperson and contender from Kedarnath assembly seat Sheeshpal Singh Bisht has also opened a front against the observers. He says that he and 12 other people have staked their claim for the by-election, but the observers sent for the by-election did not maintain transparency in the selection process and in a biased manner ignored the fair method for candidate selection.
Sheeshpal Bisht says that the arbitrary manner in which the observers were appointed without taking the State Congress Committee into confidence was a mistake. Due to this mistake, the apprehensions of bias started taking shape, which now seem to be coming true. If the supervisors had to do as they pleased in the selection of candidates, then why were other people asked to apply? Why were they made to deposit the prescribed fee? This is a big issue in itself.
The candidates will go to Delhi and complain
The candidate from Kedarnath assembly seat, Sheeshpal Singh Bisht, clearly said that this has caused great disappointment among the candidates. In such a situation, he and other candidates will go to Delhi today or tomorrow and complain about this to the top leadership. At present, there is a situation of tussle in the Congress regarding ticket distribution on the Kedarnath seat.
