Congress in Chaos: MLA Supports Rebel Candidate, Party Leader Upset Over Wife’s Ticket Denial
The Congress party in Pithoragarh is facing a major internal conflict over the selection of their mayoral candidate for the upcoming municipal corporation elections. The situation is quite heated, with several prominent party members expressing their discontent with the party’s decision. The Congress has chosen Anju Loonthee as their candidate for the mayoral position. However, this decision has been met with strong opposition from several party members, including Mayukh Mahar, the MLA from Pithoragarh, and Mathura Dutt Joshi, the party’s state vice-president.
Mayukh Mahar, who is known for his outspoken nature, has openly criticized the party’s choice. He even went so far as to attend the nomination filing of Monica Mahar, a rebel candidate, and publicly declared his disapproval of the party’s chosen candidate. Mahar expressed concerns about the candidate’s past and stated that he would be willing to make any sacrifices, including leaving the party, to ensure that Pithoragarh gets a deserving mayor. He emphasized that the development of Pithoragarh is his top priority.
Mathura Dutt Joshi, a senior party leader, is also upset with the party’s decision. He had been actively campaigning for his wife, Rukmani Joshi, to be the mayoral candidate. He expressed disappointment that his wife’s candidacy was overlooked, despite her dedication and commitment to the party. Joshi believes that loyal party members are not being rewarded for their hard work and honesty. The situation within the Congress party in Pithoragarh is far from settled. It remains to be seen how the party will address the discontent among its members and whether it can overcome these internal divisions to present a united front in the upcoming elections. What do you think will happen next? Will the Congress party be able to resolve this internal conflict?
