The Congress on Monday released a list of seven more candidates for the Delhi Assembly polls, fielding Romesh Sabharwal from the New Delhi seat against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
The party has already released a list of 54 candidates on Saturday. The last day for filing of nominations is today.

Polling in the Delhi assembly election will be held on February 8 and the results will be declared on February 11.
