Congress' Puri LS pick cites lack of party funds for polls, quits race
Two days before the deadline for filing nominations, Congress' pick for Puri Lok Sabha seat, Sucharita Mohanty, Saturday pulled out of the electoral race, alleging lack of funds from the cash-strapped party for her campaigning. Sucharita, who had unsuccessfully contested the Puri seat in 2014, said she had conveyed her decision to the party brass. The constituency will go to polls on May 25, and the last date for submission of nominations is Monday. Sucharita had not filed her nomination papers yet.
