The Congress CEC finalizes candidates for the upcoming Bihar elections after a long meeting in Delhi. The session, chaired by Mallikarjun Kharge and joined by Rahul Gandhi, discussed over 50 seats. Senior leaders like KC Venugopal, Ajay Maken, and Rajesh Ram attended. According to Rajesh Ram, the CEC has approved the best candidates for quality assembly seats.

The Congress CEC finalizes candidates even as seat-sharing talks within the Grand Alliance remain unsettled. Shakeel Ahmed confirmed there’s no dispute with RJD, while speculation grows that the Congress may release its list before a final alliance deal. Meanwhile, CPI-ML and CPI have already released their candidate lists. Tejashwi Yadav hinted that the seat-sharing arrangement could be announced soon.

This move by the Congress shows confidence and unity, indicating the party’s readiness to contest effectively in Bihar.
