Punjab Congress chief Amarinder is trying to invoke unity among ticket aspirants in the party by adopting a “carrot-and-stick” policy. He made the conditions to qualify for chairmanships of boards and corporations, if Congress comes to power, more stringent. In a statement on Monday, Amarinder said only those applicants will be eligible for these posts from whose constituencies the party candidates win.
Amarinder had earlier said those denied tickets will be “adjusted” as chairpersons. “Those who will not be able to make it to the final list will be equal stakeholders in the government formation as campaign drivers. Their performance during the elections will qualify them for positions in the government later. The assessment of winability will be made at multiple levels and through multiple channels. The party has adopted a scientifically foolproof method to ensure that the best candidate gets nominated,” he said.
