Congress meet in Mysuru bats for LS ticket to long-time party worker

A meeting of the Congress party’s organisational leaders of Mysuru and Kodagu district held at a private hotel in the city on Monday has resolved to urge the leadership to consider only long-time loyal party workers for contesting the coming elections from Mysuru Lok Sabha constituency.

The meeting has also cited All India Congress Committee’s (AICC) Udaipur declaration of May 2022 to oppose candidature of persons with less than five years of party work.

The meeting was attended by the presidents of Mysuru district, Mysuru city and Kodagu district Congress committees viz B.J. Vijaykumar, R. Murthy, and Dharmaja Uthappa respectively and 150 other office bearers including presidents of 16 block Congress committees and presidents of 40 frontal organisations of the party in the two districts and others resolved to consider entrusting power to new entrants to the party only after they serve the party for five years.
