Assam Congress chief Occupies discontent over candidate Choice in assembly polls

GUWAHATI: Assam Congress president Ripun Bora on Wednesday said he’d ceased lending any input on the choice of candidates to the state assembly polls following a few of his assistants failed to get tickets, even hinting in dissatisfaction within the ticket distribution procedure.
The candidates, that got tickets in these 6-7 chairs, lost the electionthe state Congress leader said in a media conference .
“When I couldn’t give tickets into 6-7 of my fans, I didn’t suggest any additional candidates.
I used to not interfere with the candidate selection procedure whatsoever,” Bora said.
Even the Congress had fielded 95 applicants and won 29 of their 126 gathering seats in Assam.
Asked when his withdrawal in the decision procedure changed the quality of complete choices, Bora explained,”All these are private things and I am a faithful Congress employee.
It won’t be appropriate for me to remark on such issues openly.
“I’m also saying that my fans would have won these seats.
However, the simple fact is that we’ve lost those chairs.” Following the survey debacle, several Congress leaders and employees have begun talking on the leadership issue and also alleged trade of cash in the candidate selection procedure.
Talking on the topic, Bora explained,”We’ve shaped a three-member committee led by MLA Sushanta Borgohain to ask about most of poll-related problems like indiscipline, ticket distribution, along with cash trade.” The committee was supposed to submit its report in a month, but it’ll be slightly delayed because of this Covid-19 scenario and movement limitations imposed as a result of pandemic,” he added.
The Congress hasn’t been able to perform a comprehensive block-wise and district-wise overview of this election results because of this Covid-19 scenario, but online comments was taken from winning and losing candidates, Bora stated.
An All India Congress Committee panel, led by former Maharashtra chief minister Ashok Chavan, also has prepared a study on the operation of this Congress from the 2021 assembly elections in several countries, Bora stated.
“The NDA won 75 and Congress-led Grand Alliance ripped 50 chairs, but the gap of vote talk between both was only 0.8 percent.
It turned out to be a neck-and-neck struggle and we lost several chairs by very narrow margins,” Bora said.
The state Congress leader said the celebration played on expected lines at lower Assam and also Barak Valley, however”completely failed” from the constituencies of upper Assam.
“In upper Assam, we lost 12 chairs right as a result of branch of anti-BJP votes involving the Grand Alliance as well as also the regional alliance of Raijor Dal-Assam Jatiya Parishad.
If we might have stopped that branch, we’d have won 12 additional chairs,” he further added.
Bora also refuted the allegation that allying with all the AIUDF had influenced the effect of the grand old party.
“When there wasn’t any polarisation of both Hindu votes in favor of the BJP because of our alliance with AIUDF, then the perimeter could have been enormous.
The schedule of the BJP would be to reveal Congress as a pro-Muslim celebration and they did exactly the same through 2016 assembly surveys,” he further added.
Bora farther explained, as announced before, the Congress may create a”high profile” committee with elements of the Grand Alliance to reevaluate the conquer of their opposition group.
Even the Congress, which had been in force for 15 years at Assam as 2001, had shaped a’Grand Alliance’ using the AIUDF, BPF, CPI(M), CPI, CPI(ML), Anchalik Gana Morcha (AGM), RJD, Adivasi National Party (ANP) and also the Jimochayan (Deori) Peoples Party (JPP) to battle with the assembly election from the BJP-led NDA.
