After the Bharatpur‑Dig municipal election results, Congress leader Vishwendra Singh accused district president Rajiv Chaudhary of mishandling ticket distribution and highlighted the party’s weak showing in five wards.
The recent municipal elections for the Bharatpur‑Dig urban body have sparked a fresh round of internal discord within the Rajasthan Congress. While the party secured a modest share of seats, the outcome has intensified criticism among its local leaders.
Congress activist Vishwendra Singh publicly questioned the ticket‑allocation process overseen by district president Rajiv Chaudhary. Singh argued that the distribution favoured a limited group of candidates, leaving many grassroots workers without a chance to contest.
He also pointed to the party’s poor performance in five specific wards, where Congress candidates finished far behind rivals. The setbacks, he said, reflect the consequences of the disputed ticket decisions and signal a need for a more inclusive selection method.
Party officials have not issued a formal response to Singh’s allegations, but sources indicate that senior leaders are convening an internal review to address the grievances before the next electoral cycle.
