Lok Sabha Election 2024: Congress releases 2nd List of 43 Candidates, Including Gaurav Gogoi and Nakul Nath

Lok Sabha Election 2024: In preparation for the Lok Sabha elections, the Congress party has unveiled its roster of candidates in two successive lists. The latest release, comprising 43 nominees across several states, underscores the party’s strategic moves and key players in the electoral arena.

The second list features notable names like Gaurav Gogoi, scion of former Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi, who is set to contest from Jorhat. Alongside, the party has fielded Kamal Nath’s son, Nakul Nath, from Madhya Pradesh’s Chhindwara, reinforcing the family’s political legacy. Vaibhav Gehlot, son of former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot, emerges as a candidate from Jalore, signaling a generational shift within the party ranks.

The distribution of candidates reflects a meticulous balance, with Assam leading the fray with 12 nominees, followed by Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and Rajasthan. Notably, 76.7% of the candidates represent marginalized communities, aligning with the party’s inclusive ethos.

However, the absence of Ashok Gehlot from the Central Election Committee meeting raises eyebrows, prompting speculation about his electoral plans and underlying health concerns. The juxtaposition of Gehlot’s decision against other former Chief Ministers like Bhupesh Baghel entering the electoral fray adds a layer of intrigue to the party’s internal dynamics.

As the electoral battleground intensifies, the Congress’s candidate lineup offers a glimpse into its strategic maneuvering and the evolving landscape of Indian politics. With seasoned veterans and fresh faces in the mix, the stage is set for a riveting electoral showdown, poised to shape the country’s political trajectory.
