In India, the party decides which candidate will contest from which constituency. Therefore, the party leaders give tickets to people who are close to them including their relatives. Here in USA, the people decide who will contest on behalf of which party. Party leaders have no say in this matter.SGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790347071764332430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6636808797927234183.post-70586210907967902622012-10-25T09:39:51.274-07:002012-10-25T09:39:51.274-07:00that's interesting ..!
