Cong Candidate List For Gujarat Polls 2017 Will Be Out Soon, Congress/INC Gujarat candidate list 2016, Gujarat Polls 2017, Gujarat assembly election 2017, Bharatsinh Solanki
Congress is bracing up for 2017 state Assembly elections by making crucial changes in its candidate selection process. State Congress President Bharatsinh Solanki told media persons on Monday that the party would announce its list of candidates for 2017 polls six months before the dates, to avoid last minute lobbying and chaos.
Disruptive scenes are usually seen at the time of elections, when supporters of those leaders denied ticket create commotion at the party headquarters.
This intra-party tussle for tickets has damaged party image in the past and contributed to electoral setbacks, feel party leaders. Party leaders said Congress is following the footsteps of Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh whose candidates for Assembly polls are selected much in advance.
Coming down heavily on Anandiben Patel government in the state, Solanki said, "Gujarat government has failed miserably, be it law & order or rising corruption. It's apparent from the way they shoddily treated peacefully protesting Patidar agitators. Twelve Patidars lost their lives and property worth crores of rupees was damaged."
He said, "To avoid problems like tussle for tickets and commotion, we are going to try something new in the state. We are going to declare the list of candidates for 2017 Vidhan Sabha elections six months in advance.
