A BIG SETBACKS FOR THE GOVT AHEAD OF THE LOOK SABI ELECTIONS: 400 Employees Leave The Rajasthani Party
Jaipur: The Congress party in Rajasthan is facing a serious dilemma as a result of over 400 party members choosing to give up their main membership, severely undermining the party’s influence. Reports state that the Congress is in a precarious situation as a result of this enormous migration. As the Congress forged an alliance with the Rashtriya Loktantrik Party (RLP) for the Nagaur Lok Sabha seat, things became worse. Tensions within the party were further exacerbated by the Congress’s choice to nominate RLP Chief Hanuman Beniwal as the candidate in Nagaur.
In a similar event, Beniwal filed a complaint and three Congress employees were suspended for six years for allegedly endorsing BJP candidate Jyoti Mirdha. Congressmen in Nagaur were incensed at the suspension of these workers, who included former MLA Bhararam, Sukharam Dodwadiya, and Kuchera Municipality Chairperson Tejpal Mirdha.
The Rajasthan Congress was already in disarray, but things became worse when the three leaders resigned from the party in protest of the suspension.
Meanwhile, Tejpal Mirdha said at a news conference on Friday that the Congress had a commanding lead in Nagaur during the Assembly elections. Out of the eight seats, it won four. It had a similarly strong position even in the Lok Sabha elections. Why was the alliance with the RLP created in spite of this?
“Hanuman Beniwal is a weapon in the campaign to demolish the Nagaur Congress. Congressmen are quite startled that such a person has formed an alliance. We are all submitting our collective resignation letter for this reason,” he said.
According to Mirdha, the local Congress state unit did not provide its approval for the Congress high leadership to create an alliance with the RLP. We are being forced into this partnership. The RLP had tried to overthrow Congress across the district. We never had the BJP on the same stage as us. Even so, Beniwal threw us out of the celebration. He claimed, “The Congress immediately issued a Tughlaqi decree and expelled us without any information or showcause notice.”
“The party in Congress is no longer what it was in the past. Here, the party is being directed by a single individual, in accordance with his own desires. It is imperative that the upper leadership of the Congress party get this warning about the party’s destructive actions in Rajasthan. In a recent campaign, Beniwal said that the Congress had five to seven of these party volunteers who were posing as Congressmen and running for office. “I have been telling the same thing to Rajasthan Congress in-charge Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and District Congress President Zakir Hussain. Such people should be thrown out,” he said.
Congress terminated three party employees, including Jyoti Mirdha’s cousin Tejpal Mirdha, for six years on Monday night.
