Raipur: The election-related committee of Congress in Chhattisgarh made an important announcement for potential candidates vying for tickets to contest the coming election. Kumari Selja, Congress Chhattisgarh in-charge, stated that only those candidates whose ground report is impressive will be awarded tickets. The party will not consider any recommendations from senior leaders.
While interacting with the media, Selja went on to clarify that tickets will only be granted to those candidates who have the highest winnability. The application for the candidature must be submitted to the block committees, and no direct application will be accepted.
The candidates must submit their applications to the Block Congress Committee before August 17-22. The block Congress Committee must submit their proposal to the District Congress Committee by August 26, and the District Congress Committee must submit their proposal to the Congress Election Committee by August 30.
This time, the Congress Party has prohibited accepting direct application for tickets and stressed that applications should be sent through an established channel. Furthermore, they have announced that no fees will be charged for tickets. All applications must be filed through a free online form.
The issuance of a date for the candidature has been seen as a strategy to preempt any discontent among rebel applicants who may not receive tickets. Political experts have also suggested that Congress is facing a strong anti-incumbency wave on 35 tickets. To mitigate any damage from this, Congress has opted for this strategy in the hope that there will be less criticism if sitting MLAs' names are dropped.
