Peeved over denial of ticket to contest the just-concluded MLC elections in the State, several aspirants of the Congress have decided to raise the issue of criteria adopted in selection of MLC candidates during the two-day Chintan Shivir of the party to be held from June 2.
A few leaders have also expressed disappointment over selection of former Union Minister Jairam Ramesh to the Rajya Sabha from the State. Senior leaders plan to submit a petition to the high command over “factionalism” in the party and selection of candidate for the Rajya Sabha.
