The workers had written a letter to the state president demanding the ticket to be given to a local candidate. The workers had demanded the ticket to be given to any one of the current MLA Laxman Napa, District President Baldev Groha and Mukhtiyar Bajigar. Sarpanches of many villages have also been made to write. But despite this, the high command has given the ticket to Sunita Duggal.
