Odisha: Congress candidate from Puri returned the ticket, said - no money for election campaign

Congress has suffered a big setback in Odisha. Congress candidate from Puri Sucharita Mohanty has returned her ticket to the party. He says that he does not have money for election campaign. The party did not provide funds to contest the elections, which is why she is returning her ticket. The Congress candidate has returned his ticket, alleging lack of funds to contest the elections and fielding weak candidates.

Sucharita Mohanty was contesting against BJP leader Sambit Patra on Congress ticket in Puri. But now she has backed down. Sucharita Mohanty will no longer contest the Lok Sabha elections on Congress ticket. Due to lack of money to contest the elections, he has pulled back his steps.

Mohanty, said, "I have returned the ticket because the party was not able to fund me. The second reason is that candidates eligible to win on some seats in 7 assembly constituencies were not given tickets." Many weak candidates have been given tickets, I cannot contest elections like this.

Sucharita Mohanty wrote a letter to Congress General Secretary KC Venugopal refusing to contest the elections. In this he refused to contest the elections. Let us tell you that earlier in Surat and Indore also Congress candidates had refused to contest elections, now exactly the same has happened in Puri also. Sucharita says that she could not raise money for the election campaign on her own, that is why she has decided not to contest the elections. She is returning her ticket to the party.
