Madan Rathod Blames Congress Over Ticket Allocation Dispute in Rajasthan

Madan Rathod, a senior leader from Rajasthan, publicly accused the Indian National Congress of mishandling the allocation of electoral tickets ahead of upcoming polls. He asserted that the party's internal process favored certain individuals, sidelining grassroots workers who had long served the organization.
Rathod's statements came during a press briefing in Jaipur, where he highlighted specific instances of alleged favoritism and lack of transparency. He urged the Congress leadership to address the grievances of party members and to ensure a fair, merit‑based selection mechanism.
The Congress party has not issued an official response as of now, but senior officials are expected to meet internally to discuss the allegations. Political analysts note that such internal disputes could affect the party's performance in the state, where ticket distribution often influences voter sentiment.
The controversy adds to a series of intra‑party challenges faced by national parties in Rajasthan, underscoring the importance of transparent candidate selection ahead of the elections.
