Ticket distribution in Congress will be purely based on the survey reports and this applies to even himself, said Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president A. Revanth Reddy, further making it clear that those working on the ground will obviously have better chances.
Mr. Reddy, who was addressing the meeting of party working presidents, vice-presidents and general secretaries here on Saturday, informed the ticket aspirants about how the party would not go by the names or preferences. “The Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah too did not get the constituency he preferred and was asked to contest from a different constituency. This is a clear indication of the party high command’s mood and how serious it is taking the survey reports,” he said.
The Congress MP said even he would not be sure of his constituency till the party announces the tickets, but sent a positive signal to those who work hard stating that their services would be rewarded by the party. He reminded how a loyal Congressman N.S. Bose Raju was rewarded with a Ministry in Karnataka for his hard work in Telangana as the AICC secretary. He said the vice-presidents and general secretaries who have been given responsibilities of various constituencies should send reports on their respective constituencies every 15 days.
