The Congress today said it will not give tickets to those whose security deposits were forfeited in the Assembly polls in the state in 2008.
AICC General Secretary and in-charge for Rajasthan, Gurudas Kamat, today said the party, however, will prepare a policy for the those candidates who lost the previous polls with a margin ranging from 15000, 20000, and 25000 votes.
Kamat was speaking after holding a day-long meeting with Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Election Divisional Committees here.
Similarly the party will also frame a policy for those deserving candidates who lost the previous two Assembly polls in the state but were holding organisational posts, he said.
Barring candidates whose security was forfeited, the party will judge the candidates who lost the previous polls on the parameters of their commitment and hardwork, and consider them also, Kamat said.
Seven divisional committees have submitted a panel of three candidates each for 200 Assembly constituencies to him, Kamat said.
Pradesh Congress Election Committee (PCEC) will take up the recommendations after Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi's Salumber visit on September 11, Kamat said.
