Clarifying the party's strategy regarding ticket distribution for the municipal polls, Sunil Sharma stated that tickets would not be awarded based on personal recommendations or pressure.

He added that key criteria for ticket allocation would include a candidate's grassroots connection, public acceptance, dedication to the organisation, and work done in the area. Congress aims to field candidates who can not only win the election but also effectively raise public issues as councillors.

The Congress party has also constituted several committees at the organisational level to prepare for the municipal corporation elections. Senior leaders, including former Cabinet Minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas and MLAs Rafiq Khan and Amin Kagzi, have been entrusted with significant responsibilities to accelerate election strategy and preparations.

Through these committees, the party will assess the electoral situation ward-by-ward, identify potential candidates, coordinate with party workers, and formulate election strategies. Congress aims to strengthen the entire process--from ticket distribution to the election campaign at the organisational level.

Sunil Sharma stated that the people of Jaipur desire change, and Congress is entering the municipal elections with the hope of delivering that change. He emphasised that 'Mission 100' is not merely a slogan but reflects the party's definitive electoral goal. (ANI)
