“We fulfilled the demands of everyone but we were made false assurances of being provided election ticket for Vidhan Sabha,” she lamented.
The woman has now resigned from the Congress party. She pointed out, “I come from the Dalit community, I am the daughter of a martyr, and my family has been connected with the Congress party for 56 years.”
In the meantime, her husband Gaurav Kumar stated, “In the chats, they themselves have admitted that yes, they took the money. I have only mentioned the names of three or four leaders so far, but there are many more…”
