Raipur

As the clock ticks towards the deadline for ticket applications within the Congress party, anticipation and activity are on the rise. Tuesday marks the last day for aspirants to submit their applications, which have been steadily flowing into the Block Congress Committee, aiming to secure their candidacy in the upcoming elections. With a plethora of candidates vying for assembly seats across the state, the political landscape is buzzing with fervor.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has shed light on the significance of this process, emphasizing that even applicants themselves are acutely aware of who possesses the winning potential within their respective constituencies. 

Acknowledging the inherent dynamics of ticket allocation, Baghel pointed out that the satisfaction of other contenders often hinges on the deserving candidates being selected. Conversely, the choice of unworthy candidates can lead to apparent dissatisfaction among the ranks.

The application influx at the block level stands as a testament to the enthusiasm of individuals eager to engage in the electoral fray. Baghel underscored that the very act of applying reflects a genuine interest in contesting the elections. He further stressed the consequences of nominating unqualified candidates, noting that such choices are met with rejection from the electorate.

Chief Minister Baghel himself has thrown his hat into the ring, submitting his candidacy to the Block Congress Committee for the coveted ticket. The step underscores his commitment to the democratic process and his vision for the state’s future.

Interestingly, the participation of Congress legislators from other states adds another layer to the unfolding narrative. With 57 BJP legislators currently stationed in Chhattisgarh for their designated roles, the political landscape is witnessing cross-state political engagement. Chief Minister Baghel highlighted that these legislators have undertaken duties not only in Chhattisgarh but have also ventured to Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand to fulfill their responsibilities.

Steering the conversation towards scientific achievements, Chief Minister Baghel hailed the imminent landing of Chandrayaan as a remarkable global milestone. Drawing parallels to the foundational contributions of former Prime Minister PanditJawaharlal Nehru, Baghel noted that the groundwork laid by Nehru continues to resonate on a global scale.

As the political landscape gears up for upcoming elections, Chief Minister Baghel has outlined a strategic approach to engaging with the youth demographic. Currently underway, the resolution camp has been set up in 14 constituencies, and it is slated to recommence on the 26th. In a bid to foster dialogue and interaction, the camp will be organized daily across three constituencies, underscoring the party’s commitment to inclusivity and outreach.
