15-20 candidates who have rebelled against Congress posing problem in Rajasthan?
According to sources rajasthan in-charge of the All india congress Committee Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on monday sent a warning letter to senior leaders of the party, who are allegedly not supporting the party’s authorized candidate. Randhawa also sent a letter to congress workers who rebelled against the official candidate of the party asking them to join the campaign in favour of the party by supporting the official candidate, the party said in a statement.
Randhawa has warned that in the next two days, if the rebel candidates do not withdraw from the elections and party officials and senior leaders, including Habibur Rehman, Umardaraz and Saroj Meena, do not join the election campaign, then the party will take action against them. According to party sources, about 15-20 candidates who have rebelled against the congress are posing a problem for the party’s authorised candidates in the upcoming assembly elections. So far, the only time the two have shared the stage was when the Gandhis came like when priyanka Vadra was in Dausa. In Karnataka, where there was a similar situation, the central leadership ensured that Siddaramaiah and DK Shivakumar were seen together often. There were occasions when they were together in campaigns a conscious attempt to project an image of unity.But unlike in Karnataka, where the congress was not fighting anti-incumbency, in the case of rajasthan, there is a cyclical pattern of victory plus anti-incumbency. Pilot and Gehlot being unleashed could keep this somewhat in check and also cut the losses.
