Madhya Pradesh Assembly Elections: 26 percent OBC candidates in Congress list
Bhopal: 26 percent OBC candidates have been included in the first list of Congress for the assembly elections in Madhya Pradesh. In the list of 144 candidates, 39 candidates belong to OBC category.
Congress national spokesperson Charan Singh Sapra, while addressing the press conference organized at the state Congress headquarters, said that keeping in mind all the categories in the first list of the party, 39 OBC, 22 Scheduled Caste, 30 Scheduled Tribe, 19 women, 6 minority and 47 general. Candidates from different classes have been given tickets and 69 sitting MLAs have been included in the list of 144 candidates of the Congress, in which 65 candidates are below 50 years of age.
Sapra says that all the 144 warriors declared are those who will expose the BJP’s lies, loot, misgovernance, corruption, deceit, fraud and hollow government.
He further said, by announcing the name of Shivraj Singh Chauhan in the fourth list, BJP has shown that he is not the face of the Chief Minister of BJP. The message has gone out among the public that Shivraj Singh Chouhan is a dead cartridge or a flop-show.
Fielding seven MPs and four Union Ministers from the BJP group also proves that many cooks spoil the food.
