Mahila Cong to claim 30 tickets for VS polls: Ojha

Raipur, September 10, 2013

Pradesh Mahila Congress (PMC) president will claim about 30 tickets for upcoming assembly elections. “Since Chhattisgarh has 27 districts, our primary demand will be one ticket from each district. We will also urge the party to provide additional support to the female candidate to post victory from the given seat,” said organisation’s newly elected national president Shobha Ojha while talking to scribes at Congress Bhawan on Tuesday.

She said she Mahila Congress would play key role in five-poll bound states in the yearend as well as during general elections in 2014.

She informed that the PMC would soon launch ghar-ghar chalo campaign in Chhattisgarh to propagate Centre’s achievements and expose BJP government’s scams and grafts by reaching door-to-door. “Besides, we will also commence membership drive,” she added.

She said considering upcoming polls, the organisation would impart training to its members at New Delhi in coming days. “We will invite 25% panchayat, 20% Vidhan Sabha and 10% Lok Sabha representatives and give them tips to enhance their leadership skills at different levels,” she added.

Flaying leader of the opposition at Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj and BJP’s Durg MP Saroj Pandey for not raising state’s recent rape incidents in parliament despite hailing from Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Ojha said the duo rather qualified their condemnations to Delhi gangrape incident.

She said the chief ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh too had become habitual of taking credit of Central schemes by claiming them as theirs.

She said it was due to lawlessness in Chhattisgarh that resulted in incidents like Darbha in which senior Congress leaders got killed by Maoists.
