Gujarat Election 2022: Full list of Congress candidates

Gujarat Assembly Election 2022: The Congress, the principal opposition party in Gujarat, on Thursday released its final list of 37 candidates for the upcoming assembly polls in the state. In the final list, Congress announced candidates for Gandhinagar South, Sanand, Vadodara City, Dahod, Godhra, and many others. The party, which is seeking to dethrone the BJP, has fielded Jignesh Mevani from Vadgam. 

Gujarat has so far witnessed a bipolar contest between the BJP and Congress. However, this time, the AAP's entry is likely to make the contest triangular in some assembly segments. The AAP is hoping to replace the Congress in Gujarat, where the BJP has been in power for the last 27 years. While the BJP remains confident of winning another consecutive term, the Congress, which has a considerable vote bank in rural Gujarat, is aiming to increase its tally from what it had got in 2017.
