With the Congress party preparing for the assembly elections to be held in November this year and various MLAs seeking tickets, its being felt in the political circle that the party would not give tickets to 24 sitting MLAs due to their bad performance. The party fears that they might lose the elections.

Senior party leaders decided this after election observers talked to the party activists about the image of the candidates, the sources said.

The AICC has appointed four observers to scrutinise the list of ticket seekers.

According to sources, the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee (DPCC) has submitted a list of 210 candidates. Three names have been suggested from one constituency.

The observers talked to the party activists of the constituencies to know about who could be the winner.

The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) is also grappling the MLAs who are likely being refused tickets by the Congress Party.

According to sources, the constituencies of power minister A.K. Walia and education minister Arvinder Singh Lovely may also be changed.

Earlier, Walia contested from Geeta Colony. This constituency has vanished after delimitation. Areas of Geeta Colony have been merged with the Krishna Nagar and the Lakshmi Nagar constituencies. He may contest from Lakshmi Nagar as he has nurtured this area for a long time, the sources said.
