LUDHIANA: Since the filing of nomination papers for the
Punjab assembly elections will begin on Tuesday, the
Congress ticket seekers from the remaining seats feel restive. The
party
is yet to field anyone from Ludhiana South, Gill, and Sahnewal, leaving the aspiring contenders high and dry.
Because of no clarity yet on who will get the ticket, the candidates haven't even started campaigning, lest they get embarrassed in case they don't get the party's favour. However, they have started with social-media campaigns in support of their claim for ticket. On condition of anonymity, a Congress ticket aspirant from Ludhiana South said: "Only 25 days are left for the February 20 elections and almost all the major parties have announced their candidates for all seats of Ludhiana. The
nominations
start tomorrow, but we have no name yet for South, Gill, Sahnewal and even Jagraon."
The aspirant said that the longer the high
command
will take for announcing the names, the more trouble it will be for those who will be finalised, because they will get very less time for campaigning.
