Congress Releases Another Poll List, No Decision On Amethi, Raebareli

The names of four candidates for the Lok Sabha elections have been announced in the latest list.

With just three days to go for the last day of filing nominations for the seats, the Congress has kept the suspense going for the prestigious Amethi and Raebareli constituencies, not naming candidates for them in the latest list of names for the Lok Sabha polls released on Tuesday. 

Four candidates have been named in the fresh list and they include actor-turned-politician Raj Babbar from the Gurgaon constituency and former Union Minister Anand Sharma from the Kangra constituency in Himachal Pradesh. 

Former MLA Satpal Raizada has been fielded from the Hamirpur constituency in Himachal Pradesh, which is likely to be an uphill battle because he will be facing off against Union Minister Anurag Thakur, who has won from there four times. The seat was also held by Mr Thakur's father and former chief minister Prem Kumar Dhumal.
