Does Congress lack candidates? let’s understand
There was talk about india alliance and where they have a candidate. A big question also arises whether small and big parties will be mixed or only 'both the boys' (Akhilesh and Rahul) of the india Alliance will finalize their candidates here. However, Sanjay Chauhan and Jantantrik Samajwadi party, Apna Dal Kamerawadi are with him. There was a rift with Pallavi patel in between, which was resolved later.
To whom there has been talk of giving lok sabha seats. Keshav Dev Morya also has a party, who first inclined towards mayawati and later towards SP. Their position is not clear yet. There will be preparations to enter the fray with all the smaller parties. They have some congress candidates. For example, Kunwar Danish ali could be from amroha seat, who was expelled from BSP. Well, it is true that congress is short of candidates.
This is a big challenge. Finding candidates for Maharajganj or Bansganj seats and varanasi seats is a challenge. Especially it is difficult for anyone to compete with PM Modi from Varanasi. There is a lot of thinking going on there too. Sources also believe that congress does not want to take any decision in haste.
On the other hand, the way bjp is promoting defection, if something happened earlier and the same candidate changes sides for some reason, a worse message will be sent. If the candidate changes the party after the announcement, then the option will have to be seen. For this also perhaps the opposition is avoiding disclosing the name. Of course, congress is short of candidates, but according to the fewer seats congress has got, congress has candidates on those seats.
