Laxman Meena from Dausa : Congress opened its card in Rajasthan

After a suspense of more than a fortnight or so Congress High command opened up its card in Rajasthan by giving ticket to IPS officer Mr Laxman Meena from Dausa Parliamentary constituency. The Kirori factor delays the candidate from the seat as he himself wants to contest from the seat but as an independent with the support of congress which not get into the congress high command. It seems the latter wants to keep his assembly seat as an independent candidate so not desirous of contesting as an consgress candidate. Mr Laxman Meena has a clean image and the rumours were there that he is also interested to contest on Congress ticket but its finalised only yesterday and he has taken VRS from IPS and government also cleared all the formalities in a hurry.
Well it also sparked the controversy of civil services neutrality once again, time and again the civil servants take Voluntary retirement just before elections to contest election but it also conveys that commitment to particular party policies not comes in a day or two and while in service although in service they seems not to be neutral in their views.
Another seat of Jaipur Rural also get congress candidate in former MLA Lal Chand KAtaria after Divya Singh wife of Vishwendra Singh refused to contest from the seat.So after C P Joshi and Mahadev Khandela he will be third who get ticket despite loss in the recently held assembly elections.
