Imphal, March 10 2009:
Being a senior college mate of Rahul Gandhi, it is said that the balance is tilted on the side of MLA Irengbam Hemochandra for getting the Congress ticket for the Inner Manipur Parliamentary Constituency.
According to information received by the press, the suspense over the inability of the Congress party to announce its candidates in the two Parliamentary seats of the 15th Lok Sabha election is likely to be over in the next couple of days.
As per a new policy of the Congress party, the chances of getting the ticket by Hemochandra is very high, the source added.
It may be noted here Congress has not been able to announce its candidates although other political parties have already done so.
Sitting MP of the party Dr Th Meinya is also in the run for the ticket.
Irengbam Hemochandra is an almuni of St Stephen's College Delhi University and he has travelled to a number of countries.
