sources questioned as will congress be able to fully implement the udaipur Declaration in the elections of 5 states including Rajasthan
and Madhya Pradesh? This question is also asked because there are many such families within congress from
where 3-3 people are claiming tickets. According to sources, all of them are claiming the ticket by citing the
winning candidate. These leaders argue that if we want to win the seat, we will have to give tickets. There are
many seats in madhya pradesh from where more than two people from the same family have been contesting
elections continuously for the last 10 years. In such a situation, it is not easy for congress to find a new candidate
here.
In 2022, congress had announced in the udaipur Declaration that only one person from a family will be given
ticket in an election. In the manifesto for the election of congress President, mallikarjun had talked about strict
implementation of the udaipur Declaration. This is the first big occasion after Kharge became the president, when
Congress’s udaipur Declaration is to be litmus test, because for the first time, elections are being held
simultaneously in 5 states, where there are a total of 677 assembly seats.
