Senior Cong leaders will placate disappointed leaders in Rajasthan: Ajay Maken

Senior Congress leader Ajay Maken on Wednesday exuded confidence that his party would placate the leaders disappointed with the ticket distribution in Rajasthan.

"The Congress has several capable candidates on each Assembly constituency and the high command searched for a winning combination. The decision on ticket distribution is taken by the party's central election committee in consultation with workers and senior leaders," Maken said at a press conference.

The senior Congress leaders are in the state to placate the disappointed leaders and situation for the party will improve in the coming days, Maken said.

Asserting that the party would come to power in the state with a huge margin, the Congress leader accused the BJP-led government of failing to address the issues of farmers, youths, employment and women security.

Maken said more than 100 farmers had committed suicide in the state. "The BJP government did not develop a permanent system for minimum support price, which it had promised five years ago. The government implemented the quota-and-token system in crop procurement, which led to huge corruption."
