Congress faces rebellion on Atam Nagar constituency

Ludhiana | Monday | 16th January, 2017

Summary:

On the other hand dozens of supporters of other ticket seeker Congress Youth wing leader Parvinder Lapran gave mass resignations as a mark of protest against ticket to Karwal. Secretary of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee Kulwant Sidhu on Sunday staged a protest march from Aditya Jetli Chowk till Model Town against party's decision of not giving him ticket. Moreover, it's the age-old tradition of the party that anyone who joins the Congress from other party should remain the member of Congress for at least 6 years and it's only after that he or she is eligible to contest elections." They have sent their resignations to Rahul Gandhi and demanded that the ticket be changed in two days or else there will be a big step taken in the said assembly. But allotment of ticket to someone like Karwal who belongs to the rival party is very unfortunate and is nothing less than cheating with the workers who were expecting that only deserving candidate from Congress party itself will be given the ticket..
