NEW DELHI, November 3: The Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee is divided over the issue of giving tickets to municipal councillors for the forthcoming Assembly elections.While a section of the leadership is supporting the fact that veteran councillors should be given a chance to enter the fray, another section is opposing it with the fear that this would facilitate a coup among the ranks in the future.Prominent among the councillors who are being considered for tickets are Harcharan Singh Josh, Mahabal Sharma, Trilok Massey and Dr Narender Nath.According to sources close to the Delhi Congress leadership, the initial enthusiasm about giving tickets to councillors has now ebbed. ``Some senior factional leaders are supporting these candidates. It is felt that if the councillors get tickets then the factions will once again become active and create problems in the future,'' they said.The `factional' leaders, however, don't think so. ``Every big party has factions and leadership is all about bringing them together. How can tickets be denied to good candidates because of their connections with some factions''?
