Shiv Sena spokesman and MP Sanjay Raut also commented on this as the Congress faces discontent within the party over his Rajya Sabha bid. This statement by Sanjay Raut is likely to lead to a break in the Mahavikas alliance once again. Sanjay Raut has said that imported candidates can affect the mindset of congressional leaders in the state. Not only that, he has advised the media to take smart action from now on.

He said, “This is an internal Congress party issue. However, considering the politics of the country, I think Congress should have taken very smart and cautious steps in this election. For the past several years, the Congress Party has been sending outsiders from Maharashtra. This could have an effect on the mindset of Congress leaders and activists in the state.”

“There is no shortage of fellows in the Maharashtra Congress. There are good people, activists. I don’t have much to say, but even in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan all the candidates are from outside. This affects the local activists. The locals are affected when such decisions are made not only in Congress but also in other parties. In particular, the Congress party needs to move forward with everyone,” said Sanjay Raut.
“We need Congress”
“We need a Congress. We are the ones who want Congress to run the country in the future. The Opposition cannot advance without the Congress. We are saying that Congress should improve their condition,” said Sanjay Raut.
Disappointment in Congress over Rajya Sabha candidacy
The party began to feud when the Congress presented Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi as reliable leaders while fielding candidates for the Rajya Sabha. Party spokesman Pawan Khera, Acharya Pramod Krishnam, Rajasthan MLA Samyam Lodha, Nagma and many other leaders and officials have expressed their discontent. Congress announced the list of ten candidates late on Sunday night.
“Maybe my penance has lessened,” Pawan Khera tweeted. National Speaker and General Secretary Randeep Surjewala, considered close to Rahul and Priyanka, has also been nominated for the Rajya Sabha post. Surjewala, who lost the Haryana Assembly by-election, will be sent to the upper house from Rajasthan even though there is a seat vacant from Haryana. Khera congratulated the ten leaders who earned nominations.
In Rajasthan, the Congress can win three seats, but no local candidate has been put forward for these seats despite demands from state leaders. From there, Surjewala, Mukul Wasnik and Pramod Tiwari have had a chance. Independent Rajasthan MLA Samyam Lodha criticized the Congress leaders and indirectly accused the Congress of not making any changes even after Udaipur Chintan Shibir had done so.
The 40 years of experience of Ghulam Nabi Azad, Anand Sharma and Tariq Anwar were ignored, said Acharya Pramod Krishnam. He also raised the question why these elders are being martyred. Azad and Sharma have not been re-elected to the Rajya Sabha.
Nagma’s displeasure
Nagma, who was upset by the nomination of Imran Pratapgadhi from Maharashtra, reacted sharply. When I joined Congress in 2003-04, Sonia Gandhi promised to nominate me for the Rajya Sabha. But 18 years after that, now the party nominated Imran and I couldn’t get the nomination, Nagma tweeted. It is said that due to Priyanka’s insistence, Imran Pratapgadhi received the nomination.
