Cong's 2nd list: Nakul Nath to contest from Chhindwara, Gaurav Gogoi from Jorhat

New Delhi: The Congress on Tuesday announced its second list of 43 candidates for the Lok Sabha polls, fielding Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath once again from Madhya Pradesh's Chhindwara and Ashok Gehlot's son Vaibhav Gehlot from Rajasthan's Jalore.

The party's deputy leader in the Lok Sabha Gaurav Gogoi has been fielded from Assam's Jorhat and sitting MP Pradyut Bordoloi from Nagaon.

Gaurav Gogoi, the son of former Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi, is the sitting MP of Kaliabor. Rahul Kaswan, who switched over from the BJP a few days ago, has been fielded from Churu in Rajasthan.

While Harish Chandra Meena, a close confidant of senior Congress leader Sachin Pilot and former DGP, has been fielded from the Tonk-Sawai Madhopur constituency, Karan Singh Uchiyarda will contest from Jodhpur.

Vaibhav Gehlot, who unsuccessfully contested the last Lok Sabha election from Jodhpur, has been fielded from Jalore this time. The list has several young faces who have replaced the old guard.

Of the party's 43 candidates on this list, 76.7 per cent are below the age of 60 years. Congress treasurer Ajay Maken said 25 of the candidates announced by the party are below 50 years of age.

"We hope the people will help these good candidates win the Lok Sabha election and help strengthen the Congress' ideology in the Lok Sabha," he said. (PTI)
