Uttarakhand : Was Congress waiting for BJP candidates? Congress list is also ready, candidates will be announced today

More than 60 Congress tickets have been finalised. Their announcement will be made today after the meeting of the Central Election Committee, while even after several rounds of brainstorming, the screw is stuck in five to seven seats of the Congress. It is believed that the Congress, which was claiming victory, was waiting for the BJP candidates so that the stature of the Congress candidates in front of the BJP candidates should be equal. This is the reason being told that till now the Congress was taking so much time to make its candidates candidates. But today the wait is about to end.

Congress lags behind in releasing the first list
The BJP has released the first list of 59 candidates in the state, while the Congress has lagged behind in releasing the first list after showing its initial speed in the selection of candidates. The Congress had claimed to release the first list by December. After this, it was told by the party that in the first week of January, the party would release its first list of candidates.

It is being told that consensus has been reached regarding the selection of candidates for most of the seats. The Screening Committee constituted for the selection of candidates, after interviewing the candidates one by one for all the 70 seats, has submitted its report to the Central Election Committee. After the meeting of the Central Election Committee today, candidates will be declared for more than 60 seats. The names of Congress State President Ganesh Godiyal and former Chief Minister Harish Rawat have also been told to be included in the first list.

An agreement has been reached in most of the seats regarding the selection of candidates in the state. The candidates will be announced after the meeting of the Central Election Committee in other seats except for five to seven seats.
