Emerging as a crucial player in the political landscape, Congress is strategically aligning itself with various opposition blocs, notably the INDIA alliance, to fortify its electoral prospects. Forming alliances in key states such as Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Bihar, among others, Congress is positioning itself for a formidable electoral challenge.
While seasoned Congress stalwarts like Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and P. Chidambaram have chosen to step back from the electoral fray, former Congress president Rahul Gandhi is set to contest from the prestigious Wayanad constituency in Kerala. Noteworthy contenders include Congress floor leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, vying for victory in Baharampur, and deputy floor leader Gaurav Gogoi, seeking to represent Jorhat.
Further amplifying its electoral strategy, Congress stalwart Shashi Tharoor aims for an unprecedented fourth term from Thiruvananthapuram, while Rajeev Gowda sets his sights on Bangalore Central.
With the release of names for 294 candidates thus far, Congress presents a formidable slate of contenders ready to champion the party’s vision and agenda. This comprehensive list showcases the diverse talent and regional representation integral to Congress’s electoral strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha Elections in 2024.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the unveiling of Congress’s candidate roster sets the stage for a keenly contested electoral battle, with the party aiming to reclaim its position as a leading force in Indian politics.
