New Delhi: A day after Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)
unveiled a list of 20 candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the
Congress on Monday released its first list of candidates for the general
elections, due by May.
Congress has cleared 93 names in the first list, which was made
public following a meeting of the party's central election committee.
The list contains candidates for five states - Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka.
Twenty one names from UP figure in the first list.
The first list contains those constituencies where the Congress had faced defeat in the last general elections.
On Sunday, the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP announced its first list of 20 candidates to take on political bigwigs like Rahul Gandhi, Nitin Gadkari, Kapil Sibal, Milind Deora, Salman Khursheed, Suresh Kalmadi, Mulayam Singh Yadav, Ajit Singh and Manish Tewari.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has not so far announced its first list of candidates.
