Raipur. The gaze is towards Delhi. The contenders are full of expectations. There is restlessness among Congressmen from Bastar to Surguja. Even the Chairman is not able to sleep peacefully. They are continuously coming and going from Bastar to Raipur and from Raipur to Delhi. Even they are not able to explain the complexities of the remaining 5 seats. Even the media people are speculating out of thin air. Many names are being discussed amid speculations, but it is not that the names being discussed are only in discussion. Even after discussion, the matter has progressed on some seats.
For example, most of the leaders have expressed their consent in the name of Shashi Singh, daughter of former minister Tuleshwar Singh from Surguja. It is discussed that TS Singhdev's support is also in the name of Shashi Singh. Despite this, the ticket has not been announced because the claims of former ministers Prem Sai Singh and Amarjeet Bhagat are strong here.
Similarly, the name of Biresh Thakur from Kanker is being said to be final. Biresh Thakur lost the 2019 Lok Sabha elections by a very narrow margin. Most of the leaders are in favor of Biresh, but along with Biresh Thakur, the names of former minister Mohan Markam, MLA Anila Bhediya and former MLA Laxmi Dhruv are in discussion.
Whereas in Bastar the name of Harish Lakhma is ahead. Harish is the son of former minister and MLA Kawasi Lakhma. Lakhma has raced to Delhi to get a ticket for her son. A strong faction of Chhattisgarh Congress is standing in support of Harish, but the announcement on this seat has been stopped due to the inclusion of the name of sitting MP and state president Deepak Baij.
Many leaders are staking claim on the Raigarh seat, but Jaimala Devi, who comes from the Sarangarh royal family, is leading in the race. At the same time, the name of former MLA Chakradhar Sidar is also in the order of prominence. Some names are also included in the discussion.
There has been maximum tussle regarding Bilaspur seat. The problem is stuck here also. Many leaders from Chhattisgarh to Delhi have agreed on the name of TS Singhdev, but Singhdev has refused to contest the elections. Despite this, there is talk in Delhi that he will be convinced. After Singhdev, name of several-time councilor Vishnu Yadav is being taken in view of the Yadav equation. Along with this, the name of Bhilai Nagar MLA Devendra Yadav has also been kept.
However, there is no need to be surprised if any other name comes forward apart from these names, because from Chhattisgarh to Delhi, Congress seems to be confused about candidate selection. At present the list is awaited to be released. Keep enjoying the discussions until it is released. Let the speculations continue.
