CONG’S 2ND LIST ON THE LINES OF THE FIRST, AWAY FROM CONTROVERSIES!

Jaipur: Congress released two lists in two days for Rajasthan Assembly elections. In the second list released on Sunday, 43 candidates were declared whereas in the first list, there were 33 names. Of course, there is a difference of ten more candidates names but the party’s line did not change even an inch.

In both the lists, all the sitting MLAs except Shafia Zubair have been given tickets. In place of Shafia, her husband Zubair Khan was given ticket. Overall, the party has not taken the risk of cutting the ticket of any MLA. This disseminates the clear message that the party does not want to give rise to any kind of controversy and dissatisfaction in the initial lists.

The thing to be noted in the second list is that Congress has given tickets to all the independent MLAs who saved the Gehlot government. By stamping these tickets, the High Command gave the message that the party will move forward on the lines of CM Ashok Gehlot in Rajasthan. If the tickets of Gehlot’s close ministers Shanti Dhariwal and Dr Mahesh Joshi have not been finalized yet, then the ticket of Ved Prakash Solanki, the most vocal MLA of Pilot camp, is also stuck.

Postponing all controversies, for now, the Congress Party has declared only those 76 candidates on whom there were no controversies.

Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was successful in getting ticket to his favorite bureaucrat Niranjan Arya in this list. Gehlot also kept his promise by getting a ticket for Sushila Dudi, the wife of Rameshwar Dudi who has been ailing. Apart from these, till now, the Grand-Old-Party is largely running on the same old lines with old faces.
