Congress In A Crunch Denies Funds To Odisha Leader For Lok Sabha Polls

Congress’ Lok Sabha candidate Sucharita Mohanty returned her ticket over ‘lack of funds’ on May 4. While speaking on the matter, Sucharita Mohanty said, “I have returned the ticket because the party was not able to fund me. Another reason is that in some of the seats in 7 Assembly segments, winnable candidates have not been given the ticket. Instead, some weak candidates got the ticket. I couldn’t contest like this.”
