Ticket-seeking for Jharkhand

While ticket distribution for Jharkhand elections was on, hundreds of aspirants thronged the Congress headquarters. The Congress managers, desperate to avoid this crowd, met at various undisclosed locations. But this could not save all the leaders. One day, K Kesava Rao, the general secretary in charge of Jharkhand, came to his office at 24, Akbar Road, to take some documents when an irate crowd gheraoed him. Rao was almost physically assaulted amid a heated exchange of words as the aspirants accused him of taking bribes. Congress workers in the office had to rush in to rescue Rao.
