31 Delhi Congress MLAs to get tickets

New Delhi, Oct 29: The Congress on Monday deferred a decision on 12 candidates, including two ministers, of the 43 sitting legislators in the Delhi assembly, while deciding on the names of 31 for the Dec 4 assembly polls, party sources said.

The Congress decided to postpone a decision on the 12 MLAs as serious corruption charges have been made against some of them; the decision on some of the other MLAs was held in abeyance on account of performance-related issues.

The Central Election Committee of the party met under the leadership of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and discussed the candidature of the 43 sitting MLAs.

Around 1,600 applicants are in the fray for tickets, with the final call to be taken by the Central Election Committee.

The meeting was also attended by Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, state unit chief J.P. Agarwal and poll in-charge Shakeel Ahmed.

Sources in the party said while the CEC has finalised the names of 31 MLAs for party tickets, it would take up the case of the remaining 12 soon.

Party sources said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, who forced the party and the central government to withdraw a controversial ordinance meant to save tainted lawmakers, wants the Congress to field only candidates with a clean image.

The MLAs who won by a slender margin of 1,000 voters, are also among the 12 names.

While five MLAs have "serious" criminal charges against them, the name of two ministers was withheld because of their "non-performance."

Criminal charges have been the crux of all previous meetings pertaining to ticket distribution.

New Delhi, Oct 28: Yoga guru Ramdev Baba has shunned all rumors about his joining the BJP or for that matter any other party. However, he has come out clear about his appreciation of Narendra Modi, saying that he has worked very hard to reach where he was now.

Oommen Chandy gets courtesy call in hospital

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 28: Oommen Chandy, the current chief minister of Kerala was paid a visit by the opposition leader and CPI (M) stalwart V S Achuthanandan in the Medical college hospital where he was admitted and kept under observation after being hurt as LDF workers pelted stones at Kannaur.

Despite declining to make any comments to the media, Achuthanandan condemned the attack openly saying that the LDF should not have reacted violently over the solarpanel scam.

Though wanting to attend the mass contact program sceduled for tomorrow at the neighbouring Kollam district, it has been postponed to the next week on doctor's advice.

The second phase of the district-wise mass contact programme, started in the state capital last week and has been drawing huge mass from across the state. The audience mostly included the under-privileged seeking advice on healthcare and welfare pension.

Menawhile, Chandy was clear about his opinion on the entire incident on a Facebook post. He called upon the UDF supporters and asked them not to resort to violence over the incident, stating that he will continue with the programme sceduled on November 18. "Considering the hardship suffered by the Congress workers (from the opponents) what I suffered is insignificant. If the CPI(M) is willing to shun violence, I am ready to forgive yesterday's violence," he said.

Nevertheless, Congress is observing protests across the state, but no unfavourable situation has been reported till now.

'Shehzada' Thackerays entangled in Narendra Modi, Rahul Gandhi fight

Mumbai, Oct 28: Congress and BJP have been fighting to protect their two star campaigners and leaders -- Rahul Gandhi and Narendra Modi. Now, Uddhav Thackeray and some other prominent leaders too have been entangled in the never ending war.

Hitting back at BJP's PM candidate, Congress recently claimed that if Rahul Gandhi is 'shehzada', then Uddhav Thackeray and Sukhbir Singh Badal too are "shehzadas".

Turning to micro-blogging site Twitter, Congress leader and Minister of State for Home RPN Singh tweeted, "In NDA meets, joint rallies, does the BJP refer to Sukhbirji and Uddhavji as 'Shehzade'? Lets not reduce our pol (sic) discourse to hypocrisies."

Singh's statement against the leaders was a direct attack on Modi who , during his recent poll campaigns in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, called Rahul Gandhi "shehzada". The controversial term, which recently hit the political parties of the country, is the Hindi word for "prince".

The Gujarat CM recently reiterated that Congress is "family first party" and asserted, "Stop practising dynastic politics and I will stop using the word 'shehzada'."

Both Uddhav and Badal's parties are two strong allies of BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA). While the former is carrying the legacy of his father Bal Thackeray, the latter, who is the son of Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, is president of the Shiromani Akali Dal as well as his father's deputy in the state government.
