The Congress has finalised its candidates for 194 Assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh and will announce their names from 25 Octobe onwards. The state, having a total of 230 seats, will go to polls on 25 November.
‘The Congress Central Election Committee has given a green signal to party candidates on 194 seats and the party will announce its list of candidates in a planned manner from 25 October onwards,’ party’s state in-charge secretary Sanjay Nirupam said in Indore on Wednesday.
He also said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi will address a number of poll rallies in the state before the elections. However, he did not provide details of their proposed visits to the state. Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi will address two rallies on Thursday at Rahatgarh in Sagar district and Indore, he said.
Taking a dig at BJP, Nirupam said it was unfortunate that the saffron party has only one leader (BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi) in its fold.
