No. of Paragraph 11

Six-time MLA and former Chhattisgarh minister Kawasi Lakhma (70) has said that while he had asked the Congress for a Lok Sabha ticket for his son from Bastar, referring to the seat as a โ€œbrideโ€, the party instead gave the ticket to Lakhma himself.

Speaking in Bastar districtโ€™s Jagdalpur city on Wednesday, Lakhma said, โ€œI am not fighting elections, it is the Congress party that is fighting elections. (Former chief minister) Bhupesh Baghel got a ticket from Rajnandgaon. Why? Why did I get a ticket? I did not ask for a ticket. I said give it to Deepak Baij โ€“ he is our PCC chief and our biggest leader in Chhattisgarh. He has to win 11 seats for usโ€ฆso if there is a problem, give the ticket to my son. I went to ask for a bride for my son, but instead they gave it to me.โ€

โ€œBaghel and Rahul Gandhi are fighting because our country is being sold. Our Constitution is in danger. If BJP, (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and (Chief Minister) Vishnu Deo Saiโ€™s government comes, they will end reservation for tribals and backward communities,โ€ he said.

His son, Harish, is a Congress leader and Zilla Panchayat president in Sukma district.
