The Congress party has released its first list of candidates for 65 constituencies in Telangana for the upcoming assembly elections.
The Congress finalized the names of the candidates after the meeting between Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president N Uttam Kumar Reddy and other state party leaders in Delhi on Monday.
The Election Commission has already issued the notification for the polls according to which the last date for submitting nominations is November 19.
To avoid any infighting between the alliances the Congress has proposed to engage in a “friendly contest” ie if the allies (TDP, TJS, CPI) contest any other seats, there will be a friendly contest with the Congress.
Congress had earlier announced its decision to give 14 seats to TDP, eight to TJS and three to the CPI. However, the CPI has been pushing for at least five seats, though it said it would remain in the alliance.
The decision on constituencies which are in demand from many aspirants has been put on hold.
The state will go to polls on December 7 while the counting will be held on December 11.
