During the meeting, several groups of party workers from different constituencies protested against the sitting party MLAs and demanded the party not to give tickets to the MLAs. After the meeting ended, Dotasara spoke to the media and said that everyone has the right to express their views. He said that all the Congress workers have been expressing their views for a long time. If anyone expresses his views, we will listen to him and whatever is appropriate will be conveyed to the screening committee.
There may be truth in this and there may also be a conspiracy
CM Ashok Gehlot said that it is not unusual for adverse comments to be made against any MP or MLA at the time of elections. He said that there could be truth in this and there could also be a conspiracy. This continues and eventually the party high command will take the appropriate decision and the winnable candidate will be given the ticket and this will be accepted by all of us. Gehlot said that everything is going well in the party. The Chief Minister said that Congress will start the election campaign from Baran district of eastern Rajasthan where the party’s national president Mallikarjun Kharge will address a public meeting on October 16. After that, Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi will address a rally in Sikarai, Dausa on 20 October.
Further, CM Gehlot said that his government is demanding from the Central Government to give the status of national project to the East Rajasthan Canal Project (ERCP) but the Center did not pay attention to it. He said that now the Congress party will expose the Narendra Modi led central government and BJP on this issue through meetings in the districts of Eastern Rajasthan.
