Bitta against poll adjustments

NABHA, MAY 16: The Congress must contest the forthcoming parliamentary elecions without making poll adjustments with any other party because it is in a position to sweep all the seats in the state, Maninderjit Singh Bitta, senior Congress leader, said yesterday.

Bitta said that during the last parliamentary elections, the party had failed to made proper political adjustments and because of this some Dalit leaders felt that they were sidelined. The party will take all these factors into consideration before taking any decision about poll adjustments in the state. Bitta said he will meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi soon with a deputation of party leaders from the state and would convey his sentiments to the party high command.

He said Parneet Kaur is a solid party candidate from the Patiala parliamentary seat. When asked about cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu8217;s entry into the Congress he said that Sidhu is a new entrant to politics and the party will utilize his services accordingly.
