Sanjeev Sharma, Chandigarh: After a struggle of about a month, the Congress sub-committee has submitted its report regarding the Lok Sabha candidates in Haryana to the party’s national president Mallikarjun Kharge. Four days ago, the sub-committee had brainstormed afresh on the names of candidates for all the seats. Now on the instructions of Kharge, the Central Election Committee will release the list of candidates. The thing to be seen in this list will be which group of Congress won the ticket in allotment. How many of his supporters could Bhupendra Singh Hooda get Lok Sabha tickets or who prevailed in the candidate selection on prestigious Lok Sabha seats like Karnal and Rohtak.
All factions raised the question of their reputation
The issue of selection of candidates and ticket allotment for the Lok Sabha seats of Haryana has been made a question of prestige by all the party factions in the state. Meetings have been held several times on the list of candidates. When the factions of former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda and Selja, Randeep and Kiran Chaudhary did not agree on the candidates, the high command formed a sub-committee. This controversy escalated so much that many Haryana Congress leaders also met Sonia Gandhi between the sub-committee meetings.
The sub-committee submitted its list to the high command.
While the Congress list is stuck due to factionalism among the leaders, the BJP candidates have completed each phase of the election campaign. After the intervention of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi, the sub-committee has submitted its list to the high command.
Congress Central Election Committee meeting on Sunday
After submitting the list, Haryana Congress in-charge Deepak Babaria said that Salman Khurshid and Madhusudan Mistry, who were part of the sub-committee, met Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday. Both the leaders submitted their reports regarding nine Lok Sabha seats of Haryana. After the report, now the decision has to be taken by the high command. Congress Central Election Committee meeting is also to be held on Sunday. There will be discussion about Punjab and Bihar. If Kharge wants, he can also include the list of Haryana in it.
After the report, Hooda held a meeting with potential candidates.
Before the release of the Congress list, the internal politics of the party is completely heated. After the party’s sub-committee submitted its report to the national president on Saturday, former Chief Minister and Leader of Opposition Bhupendra Singh Hooda held a meeting with potential candidates at his Delhi residence. In this, Congress ticket contender from Sonipat Satpal Brahmachari, Hooda group’s contender from Bhiwani-Mahendragarh MLA Rao Dan Singh, besides Congress state president Uday Bhan were also present.
