West Bengal elections: No change seekers in Congress campaign list

The AICC has excluded the party’s change seekers from the official list of 30 campaigners for the West Bengal elections indicating that the leadership won't accommodate those who demand changes in its functional approach. Party circles think the same pattern could happen in the campaigner lists for other poll-bound states too.

An AICC spokesperson had recently asked at an official press conference why some change seekers had gone to Jammu with Ghulam Nabi Azad and addressed a public meeting when they should have been campaigning for the party in the election-bound states.

Azad and Anand Sharma had later told media persons they all would campaign for Congress if the party, as in the past, asked them to do so.


The AICC picks and chooses its official campaigners. The only person, from the original 23 joint letter-writers, figuring in the list is Jitin Prasad, who was made AICC in-charge of West Bengal post-joint letter.
