Mandya: Ramya's mother Ranjitha revolts against Congress, speaks up


Daijiworld Media Network - Mandya

Mandya, Mar 21: All India Congress Committee (AICC) social media head Ramya's mother Ranjitha, who blames that Congress has neglected her in spite of her 28 years of service to the party, is planning to contest the upcoming assembly polls as an independent candidate from Mandya constituency.

“I had requested the senior leaders to give me a small post in the party. However, I was given only assurances which have never been fulfilled. How many years can I wait? Hence, I am thinking to contest independently in the elections,” she told reporters on Tuesday.

She also demanded that Ramya is given an important post in the party. “Though she is doing wonderfully as the AICC social media head, people in Mandya don’t understand that. She should be given a post that will allow her to help people of Mandya,” she told a news channel.

Ranjitha said she will announce her final decision soon.

Meanwhile, Mandya Congress District Women's Unit President Anjana Srikanth alleges that Ranjitha has never been involved in any party activity, except for campaigns favouring her daughter Ramya. She added that she was not aware that Ranjitha wanted a party post. “Will speak to her in this regard,” she added.

Some Congress leaders, who were asked to react on the issue, maintained that Rahul Gandhi will take the call on Ranjitha’s demands.

Earlier, Ramya had denied rumours that she was aspiring to be fielded as a Congress candidate from Mandya in the upcoming elections. Though she was successful in Lok Sabha by-poll from Mandya in 2013, she lost 2014 general elections to JD(S) candidate CS Puttaraju.

    Either she may have received a threat from BJP of CBI, IT raid to her biz offices or she is jealous of her own daughter's prosperity in the Congress party.

    One prominent Congress person told a group of us not long time ago that Ranjitha was to get a very
    important position soon.

    Mrs. Ranjitha will do herself a favor by talking to her immediate contact - help herself and be happy.
    We were also told that this being a busy/difficult time - it may be wise for Ranjitha wait just for a few
    days!

    Good Luck Ranjitha Bhai!

    Those who look only for posts and recognition, may leave the party and stand independent. Being an Independent candidate, you are the President, secretary, treasurer, spokesperson and all. You will have all the posts that you were deprived in a party if you belong to a party.
