Haryana Congress president Selja on Thursday trashed charges of cash for tickets.
Reacting to allegations of cash for tickets by former Haryana Congress chief Ashok Tanwar, She said that due process was followed for ticket distribution and allegations about money exchanging hands were baseless.
Tanwar’s allegations have sent shock waves in the party inviting strong reactions.
Haryana minister and candidate from Jhajjar Geeta Bhukkal said, "I have got a ticket again without paying a single penny. All these allegations of cash for the ticket are baseless, Congress party will do very well and we will form the next government in the state."
Congress on Thursday released the list of candidates for the remaining six seats. The tickets have gone to Prahlad Singh Gillankhera (Fatehabad), Bishan Lal Saini (Radaur), Bhupendar Gangaur (Barwala), Venu Singla Aggarwal (Ambala Cantt), Mewa Singh (Ladwa) and Shamsher Singh Virk Gogi (Assandh). The party had released a list of 84 candidates late on Wednesday night but withheld the remaining six due to intense lobbying by different factions.
The list was finalised amid ruckus outside Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's residence by former party chief in Haryana Ashok Tanwar and his supporters. Tanwar alleged that Sohna seat was sold for Rs 5 crores.
