Congress party meeting in progress in Alot on Friday

Alot (Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh): The Congress party held a meeting of supervisors, councillors and ticket aspirants here on Friday. The meeting was held in view of civic elections to be held after a month.

“Ticket will be given to a candidate capable of victory and this will be decided after party conducts a survey for the same,” he added. Supervisor Ajay Singh Thakur who had come from Ujjain said he will submit the report to MP Congress Committee.
