Newsplus21 आपके हक की बात
In a major setback, Congress’ Puri Lok Sabha candidate Sucharita Mohanty returns ticket citing denial of party funding to campaign.
Sucharita Mohanty cited insufficient campaign funds from the party for her decision to withdraw from electoral fray. It is learnt that despite efforts like a public donation drive and minimised spending, she as a candidate struggled financially and could not sustain an impactful campaign.
She also wrote a letter to AICC general secretary (Organisation), K. C. Venugopal, where she pointed out that party’s campaign in Puri Parliamentary Constituency has been hit hard because the Party has denied funding. AICC Odisha In-Charge Dr Ajoy Kumar Ji categorically asked me to fend for myself, she added.
Sucharita Mohanty was a professional journalist who entered electoral politics 10 years ago.
“Since I couldn’t raise funds on my own, I knocked at your’s and all other doors of our Party’s Central Leadership, urging them to commit the necessary Party funds for an impactful campaign in Puri Parliament Seat… It is clear that only fund crunch is holding us back from a winning campaign in Puri,” she said.
