Congress Releases Second List of Candidates for Delhi Elections, Pits Farhad Suri Against Manish Sisodia in Jangpura

In a significant development ahead of the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections, the Congress party unveiled its second list of candidates, adding 26 names to its roster. Among the highlights is the inclusion of Farhad Suri, a seasoned politician and former Mayor of Delhi, who has been fielded to contest from the Jangpura constituency. Suri is set to challenge AAP heavyweight and former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, making it a highly anticipated face-off.

The Congress, aiming to regain its lost ground in the capital, has emphasized a mix of experienced leaders and fresh faces in its candidate selection. The newly released list reflects a focus on representing diverse communities and addressing key local issues.

This announcement follows the release of the party’s first list earlier this month and signals Congress's intent to mount a strong challenge against the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Jangpura constituency, in particular, has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile contest between Suri and Sisodia, with both leaders holding substantial political experience and public support.

Party insiders have hinted that more announcements are expected in the coming days as the Congress continues to fine-tune its electoral strategy. As campaigning intensifies, the battle for Delhi is shaping up to be a three-way contest, with all major parties vying for dominance in the capital.
