Will try to give ticket to one woman in every district: AICC

All India Congress Committee (AICC) spokesperson and media coordinator, Rohan Gupta said Congress will “try to give” ticket to at least one woman candidate in every district in the assembly polls in Rajasthan.

Addressing a press conference in Kota on Wednesday, Gupta said that Congress has prepared guidelines for the state assembly polls on the basis of which party tickets will be given.

When asked about AICC president Rahul Gandhi’s recent statement in Kota that the Congress will give 40% representation to women in the polls, Gupta said, “Although it will take time to enforce Rahul’s wish, but efforts will be made to give ticket to at least one woman candidate in every district of the state in the coming assembly polls.”

Gupta said the first list of Congress candidates for the assembly polls will be released “soon”.

When asked why BJP looks more active on social media platforms than Congress, Gupta said that BJP hires professional IT experts for posting manipulated information and propaganda on social media, while Congress always presents authentic facts on the social media platforms through its workers.

Reacting over the Gupta’s charge, BJP’s Kota rural district president Jaiveer Singh Amritkua said that BJP runs its social media activities through its volunteers and the allegations of use of IT professionals by BJP is false.
