Sharma had unsuccessfully contested the 2024 Lok Sabha polls from Kangra seat.On not being nominated, Anand Sharma told news agency ANI: “I will not say that I am disappointed, but I will say one thing: self-respect is very expensive in politics. One has to pay the price for it, and speaking the truth is now considered a crime.”Sharma said the answer to why he was not nominated could only be given by those who took the decision. “It has been a privilege to represent the state and the country for decades.

I will not take this matter to the high command,” he added.The Congress has also nominated Christopher Tilak, a Christian leader and AICC secretary, from Tamil Nadu.In Haryana, the Congress has nominated Karamvir Singh Boudh, a Schedule Caste leader. “The choice of Karamvir Singh Boudh reflects the party’s attempt to balance all sections of the party.

While Hooda has been made the leader of the Opposition in the state assembly, Boudh has been rewarded with a Rajya Sabha berth,” a senior party leader said.Besides Singhvi, the Congress has also nominated Vem Narender Reddy from Telangana.
