The defeat of Congress candidate Nasim Bano in the Bikaner Deputy Mayor election has created a rift in the party. Bano has demanded strict action against cross-voters.
After the defeat, Nasim Bano launched a sharp attack on her own party's councilors. She explicitly stated that she was not defeated by the opposition, but by her own people.
Bano termed this as betrayal within the party. She said that she feels deeply hurt by this deception from her own colleagues.
Nasim Bano's primary demand is to identify and take action against the councilors who cross-voted. She has appealed to the party leadership for an impartial investigation into the matter.
Nasim Bano also expressed displeasure over the events during the election process. She stated that by the time she arrived to file her nomination, five other Congress members had already filed theirs.
She questioned who those five people were and who was supporting them. According to Bano, this was part of a pre-planned strategy to ensure her defeat.
Nasim Bano has informed the Congress High Command about the entire sequence of events. She mentioned that she has received a positive assurance from the party leadership and appropriate steps will be taken soon.
Bano hopes that the party will not tolerate indiscipline. She wants those who betrayed the party to be shown the door to prevent such incidents in the future.
Congress leader Ghulam Mustafa has also supported Nasim Bano in this dispute. He called cross-voting a major betrayal of the party and demanded the suspension of the guilty.
Mustafa warned that if the party does not take strict steps against these councilors, he will launch a protest. This situation has highlighted the lack of unity and factionalism in Bikaner Congress.
