Mumbai The party has given ticket to Maharashtra Congress General Secretary Sachin Sawant from Andheri West in Mumbai, but Sachin Sawant does not want to contest Maharashtra Assembly elections from this seat. According to Sachin Sawant, he had asked for a ticket from Bandra East seat. Because work was done there on a large scale. According to Sachin Sawant, he expected that Congress would give ticket from Bandra East seat only, but it did not happen. In such a situation, Sachin Sawant has clearly told the Congress high command that if he does not get the ticket from Bandra East, he will not contest the Maharashtra Assembly elections. He says that he has conveyed his message to the big leaders of Congress.
Let us tell you that when there were assembly elections in Odisha, Congress had made Sucharita Mohanty the candidate from Puri, but she returned the ticket saying that Congress was not providing any help for the campaign. Sucharita Mohanty had said that Congress is not providing funds for campaigning and she does not have money for campaigning. Sucharita Mohanty had also alleged that tickets were given to weak candidates instead of the winners on many seats. After Sucharita Mohanty, now Sachin Sawant in Maharashtra has decided not to contest the assembly elections by raising the issue of change of seat. However, he expressed no displeasure and also said that his aim was to defeat the ruling Mahayuti.
