It was an election. When you lose, you are not part. Who gave them that assurance [that their names will be maintained in the register]? The Party told everybody that when you want to contest, go and pick a form and contest. So, [they] should have availed themselves for the contest. If you didn\u2019t avail yourself for the contest, then it means you can never be an automatic delegate.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1258575568&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true&#038;visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are instances where people will say I\u2019ve been there for 12 years, I\u2019ve been there for 15 years; we understand but it is a contest.
