Denied poll ticket, Congress leader attacks Sant Kabir Nagar candidate with stones eggs

Angry over denied ticket for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, a Congress leader Rohit Pandey and his supporters allegedly pelted stones and rotten eggs on a car of Sant Kabir Nagar Congress candidate Parvez Khan. While Khan escaped unhurt, glass of his car was broken.

According to a HT report, the attack followed a visit by Congress secretary Sachin Naik. Naik who had come to review poll preparations, also faced the ire of workers who shouted ‘Go-back’ slogans against him.

The report claimed that the incident took place when, at the meeting, the demand to replace Khan with Rohit Pandey, was turned down by Naik, who asked the candidate to show respect to the party decision and work unitedly.

This further angered the Pandey faction, which had earlier protested by smearing Khan’s poster black at the party office. Pandey’s supporters were of the view that Pandey had worked hard for long to strengthen party at ground level, while Khan did nothing except hold the post.

They told Naik that by fielding Khan the party would surely lose as he would only get 4,000 to 5,000 votes.

Earlier, on Sunday, Naik faced the ire of party workers during a poll preparation review meeting in Basti, where the party has shared the seat with Jan Adhar Party, floated by Babu Singh Kushwaha.
