The Congress party on Tuesday reiterated that its candidates are facing a financial crunch while campaigning for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections as the party's bank accounts are frozen by the Central government. 

As per PTI report, Congress Working Committee member and MP from Thiruvananthapuram, Shashi Tharoor said that all party candidates 'were in a financial crunch'. "The party has had its accounts frozen and is unable to give us the kind of support we would have liked to have from our party. We have, nonetheless, very loyal and hardworking Congress workers everywhere who are doing what they can and when the Election Commission allows us to raise funds legally from the public, we will do so," Tharoor said.
