128 years old Congress is known for its indiscipline. While the party calls itself internal democracy, there are events of indiscipline which are not at all acceptable in democracy. And now as the party in Andhra Pradesh gears up to release the candidates list for the coming election. Private army of bouncers is employed by Gandhi Bhavan to prevent disgruntled and disappointed ticket seekers from gatecrashing into the premises.
While there are no takers for party tickets in the Seema Andhra region, there is a big demand for tickets in Telangana region as the party is hot favourite in the region after it granted the separate state hood of Telangana. The employing of bouncers became controversial in political circles and media, immediately Gandhi Bhavan got their all black dresses to Safari suits. A party source says this practice is in place before the elections since 1999 and there is nothing new now.
