Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Congress` Puri Candidate Sucharita Mohanty Returns Ticket As `Party Denied Funding`

The Puri Lok Sabha candidate for the Congress, Sucharita Mohanty, withdrew her ticket. Mohanty claims that the party had 'denied her funding'. Speaking to ANI on her letter withdrawing the candidature, the Congress leader said, "I have returned the ticket because the party was not able to fund me. Another reason is that in some of the seats in seven Assembly segments, winnable candidates have not been given the ticket. Instead, some weak candidates got the ticket. I couldn't contest like this."
