Only a few days are left for the Jharkhand assembly elections. In such a situation, all political parties are busy in preparations. The main contest will be between the INDIA block and the BJP. Meanwhile, infighting within the Congress is creating difficulties for the INDIA bloc to come to power. Even before the dialogue program organized on Friday, the Congress conflict came to the fore for party general secretary KC Venugopal. In such a situation, it is a big challenge for the party to deal with these infighting.
Actually, experts believe that if the INDIA bloc has to retain power in the state, then the role of Congress should be important in it, but the way the controversy has arisen within the party regarding the distribution of entries, the difficulty seems to be increasing for INDIA. block. The question was raised by none other than the party workers and leaders themselves in front of KC Venugopal who participated in the dialogue program organized on Friday. The anger of the workers was such that even KC Venugopal was stunned and could not speak for 6-7 minutes due to the slogans of the workers.
Although it was just an inaugural program of the party, the leaders and workers involved in it said, on condition of anonymity, that the tickets were distributed violating all norms. Activists claimed that tickets had been sold out. In Panki, the ticket was given to a candidate who had joined the party a month ago. Also, in Barhi, such a candidate, whose entry took place two years ago, was fielded after cutting the ticket of the sitting MLA. Even in Dhanbad, the candidate nominated is facing opposition. The accusation is also that those who carried the party flag for 20 or 30 years have been ignored. The question of why the party did not field candidates for the SC seat was also raised in the Samvad programme. Furthermore, he wondered what is the reason for expressing confidence in the Kanke candidate who has been defeated in 4 elections.
Let us tell you that in the last state elections, Congress had won 16 of 31 seats. While Hemant Sorane’s JMM had won 30 seats. The RJD and Left parties won one seat each. The NCP also supported Hemant’s government. Saryu Rai also supported the government. It is discussed that a JMM-led government can also be formed this time only if the Congress also repeats the performance of 2019. If this does not happen, it may be difficult to retain power. And this does not seem to be happening right now because Congress workers and leaders themselves are not only raising questions to their own Congress Party about candidate selection, but they are also talking about selling the ticket. They are talking about presenting a weak candidate. In such a situation, it is clear that the discussion is also in full swing that the Congress, which is fighting for 30 seats, could prove to be a weak link in the path of the INDIA block.
