Congress Leader's "Accept All Views" Remark After Being Dropped As Jaipur Candidate

The Congress on Sunday replaced its candidate for the Jaipur Lok Sabha seat, fielding former Rajasthan minister Pratap Singh Khachariyawas after a section of party leaders objected to Sunil Sharma's nomination. Mr Sharma's candidate sparked controversy over his alleged association with the 'Jaipur Dialogue', which is critical of the Congress on social media. "A section pretending to be leftists holding Congress to ransom now. Dissent and dialogue are important for any party to grow. Congress has to accept all views to grow again," Mr Sharma told NDTV.
