Congress to field its candidates from the East and North West Delhi

A senior Congress leader predicted that the party would run for the third seat from one of the parliamentary constituencies in West Delhi, Chandni Chowk, or New Delhi.
“We will assess the winnability of candidates proposed by both parties for the third seat; but it is mostly certain that the Congress will field its candidates from the East and North West Delhi Lok Sabha seats,” the Congress leader said. On Thursday, the parties resolved differences concerning seats in other states, particularly two Gujarati Lok Sabha seats that had become a barrier to their alliance in the state capital.
