Rumblings in Congress after list of 10 candidates for Rajya Sabha polls released

@the_news_21

Voices of discontent emerged from the Congress after the party announced 10 candidates for the June 10 Rajya Sabha polls with actress-turned-politician Nagma Morarji raising questions over the candidatures.

The Congress on Sunday announced candidates for the polls, fielding former Union ministers P Chidambaram, Jairam Ramesh and Ajay Maken as well as party’s chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala.

Taking to Twitter on Sunday night, Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera tweeted, “Shayad meri tapasya mein kuch kami reh gayi (Maybe my penance fell short).”

However, he posted another tweet in the morning, asserting that the Congress has given him his identity.

“I am not only in agreement with this view of mine but also stand by it,” he said, tagging one of his tweets a few days ago in which he had said Congress leaders must not forget that their identity was because of the party.

Khera congratulated those whose candidature has been approved by the party.

Morarji made her disappointment clear as she responded to Khera’s tweet on penance, saying “My 18 years of penance fell short before Imran bhai (Imran Pratapgarhi, who has been fielded from Maharashtra)

“Sonia Ji our Congress president had personally committed to accommodating me in RS in 2003/04 when I joined Congress party on her behest we weren’t in power then. Since then it’s been 18Yrs they didn’t find an opportunity Mr Imran is accommodated in RS from Maha. I ask am I less deserving,” she tweeted.

She, however, also congratulated those fielded by the party in the Rajya Sabha polls.

Responding to Morarji’s tweet, Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam said in a tweet that the penance of Salman Khurshid, Tariq Anwar and Ghulam Nabi Azad was of over 40 years, but they too were “martyred”.

“‘Suppression’ of talent is a ‘suicidal step’ for the party,” he said in another tweet in Hindi.

Rajasthan’s Independent MLA from Sirohi Sanyam Lodha was scathing in his criticism of the party.

“The Congress party should tell what is the reason for not making any Congress leader/worker from Rajasthan, a candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections?” he wrote in a tweet in Hindi and tagged Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

According to the list of candidates released by the party, Chidambaram was fielded from Tamil Nadu, Ramesh from Karnataka, Maken from Haryana and Surjewala from Rajasthan.

The party also fielded Mukul Wasnik and Pramod Tiwari from Rajasthan, Vivek Tankha from Madhya Pradesh, Rajeev Shukla and Ranjeet Ranjan from Chhattisgarh and Pratapgarhi from Maharashtra.

The party has opted for ‘outsiders’ in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, the two states in which the party is in power on its own.

The Congress is likely to get 10 Rajya Sabha seats in the upcoming election cycle.

Elections will be held on June 10 to fill 57 Rajya Sabha seats from 15 states falling vacant due to the retirement of members on different dates between June and August. The last date for filing nominations is May 31.

  1. Solche Free Slots funktionieren identisch zu Echtgeld
    Slots, allerdings wird hier mit Spielgeld anstatt echten Einsätzen gespielt.

    Beispielsweise kommt der Slot Blood Suckers von NetEnt mit einer RTP von 98
    %, während Book of 99 von Relax Gaming sogar eine Auszahlungsquote von 99 % bietet.
    Dann schreibe uns eine E-Mail an -casinos.de
    Zusätzlich bieten dir auch viele gute Online Spielotheken die Möglichkeit, in einer herunterladbaren Software oder
    im Browser Casino Spiele kostenlos auszuprobieren, bevor du dich
    ans Echtgeldspiel wagst. Auf Spielautomaten.de kannst du Spielautomaten kostenlos
    ohne Anmeldung spielen; und zwar ohne Software-Download direkt im Browser.
    In der Regel steht zu jedem Online Slot eine kostenlose Demo Version zum
    spielen bereit. Online-Slot.de bietet auch eine große Auswahl von Spielautomaten-Spielen an, die kostenlos im
    Bereich Slots spielen gespielt werden können.
    Dieses Betsoft-Spiel bietet elegante Grafiken und lebendige Visuals, die
    etwas frischen Wind in das überarbeitete ägyptische
    Slot-Thema bringen. Wir haben die meistgespielten Spielautomaten auf unserer Website unten mit den wesentlichen Informationen für jedes Spiel zusammengestellt.
    Ein Softwareanbieter oder Casino-Betreiber wird alle Lizenz- und Testinformationen in der Regel im Fußbereich ihrer Website auflisten. Teilweise sogar durch die GGL, die damit beauftragt ist
    die Regulierung von online Casinos in Deutschland zu übernehmen. Die auf unserer Website vorgestellten Slot-Entwickler sind jedoch von Glücksspielregulierungsbehörden lizenziert.
    Dies liegt daran, dass Sie bei Slot-Demos kein Geld riskieren und die Spiele selbst
    von lizenzierten Casino-Softwareanbietern entwickelt wurden.

  2. Everything you’d expect is available, including online roulette, video poker,
    blackjack, craps… it’s just that you can’t
    browse them for some reason. Lastly, I wanted to review some
    RNG table games before wrapping the game part of my review,
    but then… So, this is the section where I tested
    most of the games, and my favourite turned out to be Wild Witches.

    All of these offers have wagering requirements ranging from 30x-40x (except for the
    cashback), and each one requires a different bonus code.
    While smaller than some casinos, the pokie selection is diverse, offering classic 3-reel games,
    5-reel pokies, jackpot pokies, bonus buy pokies, and Megaways.
    As a result, many Australians safely enjoy real money online casinos hosted overseas.

    PlayMojo is the #1 Australian online casino offering regular and VIP bonuses,
    a fantastic game library, and instant withdrawals.
    Aussie online casinos pile on the games and promos like there’s no tomorrow, but some casinos are really
    not worth your time.

  3. In the table you list for the blue USB port “Twice as fast as the Blue USB Port.” That’s a little error there.
    I bet the majority of people don’t even realize there are different colors and
    that the different colors have different meanings and applications, LOL.

    I thank you for sharing your knowledge on these cables/ports.
    It should say “It’s much faster than the WHITE port” not black.
