Lok Sabha Election 2024: Raj Babbar, Anand Sharma in Congress New List Of Candidates
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.
Raj Babbar will contest against BJP veteran and Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh. With the announcement of his candidature, the Congress has revealed the names of all nine candidates it is fielding from Haryana, where the tenth Lok Sabha seat is being contested by its INDIA ally, the Aam Aadmi Party
Anand Sharma, who is making his Lok Sabha election debut, is up against the BJP's Rajeev Bhardwaj, a former chairman of the Kangra Central Cooperative (KCC) Bank.
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.
The party has pitted Bhushan Patil, the vice president of its Mumbai unit, against Lok Sabha election debutant and Union Minister Piyush Goyal.
