Gujarat Elections: Congress workers vandalise party office in Gandhinagar over ticket distribution

The Congress party workers on Sunday vandalised property of the party office in Gandhinagar over the issue of ticket distribution, reported ANI.

Workers reportedly broke the chairs and television set installed in the office.

The development came after the Congress released its third list of 76 candidates for the second phase of the Gujarat Assembly election.

The party, which has been seeking to dislodge the BJP from power in the western state, earlier announced the names of 86 candidates in two phases.

The party, however, could not finalise the names of its candidates in 20 more seats.

The list featured at least 11 candidates from Scheduled Tribes and three from Scheduled Caste communities.

The Congress has been out of power in the crucial state for over two decades.

The polling for the two-phase elections in Gujarat, having total 182 seats, will take place on December 9 and 14 and votes will be counted on December 18.
