Congress MLA slams ticket distribution, party waits for ‘right time’ to act

Congress MLA Roshan Baig questioned ticket distribution by the party for the Lok Sabha polls. Baig criticised the decision to give a ticket to only one Muslim, and no Christians. Party leaders reacted differently to the statement, with deputy Chief Minister of the state, G Parameshwara, calling it the MLA's personal opinion, while chief of the party's state unit, Dinesh Gundu Rao, said action would be taken when the time is right.
