New Delhi. With the announcement of the names of 10 candidates from the Congress high command for the Rajya Sabha elections, the voices of protest and rebellion started reverberating in the party. The whole affair started late on Sunday night. Congress had released the list of candidates late in the evening. All the Congress leaders got angry on this. From Rajasthan MLA to national spokesperson and actor associated with the party, tweeted. The first tweet was done by Sanyam Lodha, MLA from Sirohi seat of Rajasthan and advisor to CM Ashok Gehlot. Sanyam asked that after all, did the Congress high command not get any candidate from Rajasthan? After this tweet, again the leaders started tweeting one after the other.
The next tweet of displeasure was made by Pawan Kheda, the national spokesperson of the Congress and the party’s vocalist in TV debates. Pawan probably hoped that he could be sent to the Rajya Sabha, but if his name was not in the list, he wrote in a tweet in the style of taking a jibe at the party high command, ‘Maybe something was missing in my penance.’
Actor Nagma did the work of venting his anger by re-tweeting this tweet of Pawan. Nagma, who was associated with the Congress, wrote in a tweet, ‘Our 18 years of penance also fell short in front of Imran (Pratapgarhi) bhai.’
After the tweets of these three, Congress leader from UP and Acharya Pramod Krishnam, who was included in the advisory board of Priyanka Gandhi, also entered the fray. He re-tweeted Nagma’s tweet, taking the names of Salman Khurshid, Tariq Anwar and Ghulam Nabi Azad and wrote that all of them have a penance of 40 years, but they too became martyrs. Pramod had already tweeted saying that he does not expect himself to be made a Rajya Sabha candidate. He had given many reasons for this. Also it was written that being a Hindu religious leader is the biggest reason. Let us inform that the senior leaders of the party, Salman Khurshid, Tariq Anwar and Ghulam Nabi, have not been nominated by the Congress as Rajya Sabha candidates. Whereas, all three have also been ministers in the central government and their names are taken among the expert players of politics.
