Guwahati, 10 November (H.S.): BJP MLA Manab Deka has accused the Congress of allegedly taking money in exchange for party tickets during elections, claiming that such practices have become routine in the opposition party.

Commenting on the allegations of money being collected for party tickets, Deka said that the Congress taking money for distributing tickets was no longer news, but the party distributing tickets without taking money would actually be news.

He alleged that the Congress indulges in financial dealings over ticket distribution during every election.

Deka also criticised the Congress over the alleged practice in the ongoing elections to the autonomous councils, pointing out that candidates contesting these elections do not even have party symbols. He questioned the party's alleged political conduct in such circumstances.-------------
