Congress MPs will not be able to contest assembly elections in Haryana, the party has also cleared the suspense over sitting MLAs

The dates for the Haryana elections have been announced and all the political parties are busy preparing for it. On one hand, the Bharatiya Janata Party is once again claiming its victory, while on the other hand, the Congress is busy trying to make a comeback in the state. At the same time, the leaders of every party seem desperate to get tickets. Meanwhile, the Congress has taken a big decision. The Congress has made it clear that no MP will be given a ticket in the Haryana elections. At the same time, a statement has also come out regarding the tickets of the current MLAs.

In fact, while talking to journalists after the screening committee meeting on Wednesday, Congress’ Haryana in-charge Deepak Babaria said that 10-15 seats have been discussed, but it will take a few more days to take a final decision. Our list will be ready by Saturday. Applications are also being discussed. More than 2 thousand applications have been received. They will be discussed and then we will put those names in front of the chairman.

During this, Babaria said that the current Congress MPs will not be given tickets in the assembly elections. No current MP will be allowed to contest the assembly elections. If there is any urgent need, they will have to take permission from party president Kharge. The tickets of sitting MLAs will be cut only if there is anti-incumbency against them.

Setback for MPs wishing to contest elections

Let us tell you that the decision of not giving tickets to Congress MPs has shocked senior leaders like Shailja Kumari, Randeep Surjewala and Deepender Hooda. They will be asked to focus on campaigning instead of contesting elections on behalf of the party. According to experts, there are many MPs who were staking claim in the assembly elections this time. However, they have now got a big shock due to the decision taken by the party.
