After what it seems like endless rounds of consultations, hectic parleys and series of permutation and combinations, the Congress today announced the list of candidates for the Assam assembly election slated to be held in April this year. Taking a calculated step, to check the dissidence that
might take place as a result of leaving out some prospective candidates and a few sitting MLAs, the Congress announced the list only for the first phase of the election which will be held on April 4. “The list for the second phase will be announced after March 21,” said APCC president Anjan Dutta. According to sources, in the list for the second phase of the
state election, which will be held on April 11, is likely to leave out several sitting MLAs, and so if the dissidence breaks out to an limit which is much higher than expected, the APCC might change a few names. The names of the Congress candidate for the first phase of the election are as follows: Pranab Gogoi from Sivasagar, Tarun Gogoi from Titabar, Contd. on Page 4
