Congress Up Candidates

UP Bypolls Election 2024: The Congress' decision to contest only two of the nine UP Assembly seat by-polls next month - and to leave seven to allies Samajwadi Party - has drawn jibes and proclamations of the alliance's break-up from the BJP.

The strategy session between the Congress and ally Uddhav Thackeray threw up a rough roadmap for the coming assembly election in Maharashtra, which the state's Opposition alliance is hoping to win.

Polling for the fifth phase of the Lok Sabha election began today with voting taking place in 49 seats across six states and the union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.

The Congress' Chandigarh candidate Manish Tewari on Sunday came out with a city-specific manifesto, promising 20,000 litres of free water every month to people and 300 units of free electricity to families with a monthly income of up to Rs 20,000.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav on Friday attended a joint public rally in Uttar Pradesh's Amethi to campaign for Congress and INDIA bloc candidate KL Sharma.

The suspense over Congress candidates in Amethi and Raebareli has been dialled up a notch, with Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra being given a few more hours to make their decision.

Congress's KC Venugopal -- candidate from Kerala's Alapuzzha -- has expressed confidence that the party would have a better performance this time, despite contesting the lowest number of seats ever across India.

Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has come up with a novel idea to ensure voting for the Lok Sabha election is done via ballot papers instead of EVMs, or electronic voting machines, at least for one constituency.

With just days to go for the 2024 Lok Sabha election, it seems increasingly likely that many alliance partners will field candidates against each other. Friendly contests and strategic manoeuvres continue to shape the political landscape in India.

Insisting that the people of Wayanad are ready to repeat what their counterparts in Amethi did in 2019, the BJP's pick as the candidate for the constituency, K Surendran, has said that voters are "fed up" with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as their MP

Uttar Pradesh Minister Jitin Prasada, who crossed over from the Congress to the BJP two years ago, was today named the BJP's candidate for Pilibhit Lok Sabha constituency, replacing Varun Gandhi.

The Congress has named its UP chief Ajay Rai as the candidate from the Varanasi Lok Sabha constituency in its fourth list for the upcoming elections. Of the 17 candidates on the list, nine are for UP.
