The Madhya Pradesh Congress election committee headed by state party chief Kantilal Bhuria has completed three-rounds of meetings and prepared the panel of names for allotment of party tickets for all the 230 Assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh. These names would be forwarded to the screening committee for a final decision which would coincide with the announcement of the poll schedule by the Election commission.
State Congress president Bhuria said on Sunday that the 22-member state Congress election committee, which has prominent Congress leaders from Madhya Pradesh as members, including Digvijay Singh, Kamal Nath, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Ajay Singh, Meenakshi Natarajan and Arun Yadav as members, has concluded three-rounds of meetings in New Delhi and prepared the panel of names for all the Assembly seats in the state. These meetings were held in a cordial atmosphere and there was unity of purpose and general consensus on the distribution of party tickets among all state leaders, said state Congress spokesperson Abhay Dubey.
After completing the ground work for ticket distribution, Union minister and state Congress campaign committee chief Jyotiraditya Scindia will start his whirlwind campaign tour by addressing party rallies at Vidisha, Shajapur and Ratlam on Monday.
