The Congress party has unveiled its second list of candidates for the upcoming Assam assembly elections. This announcement marks the party's strategic placements, as it names 23 candidates for various seats across the state.
Among the notable figures, Nurul Islam will contest from Srijangram, and Abdul Khaleque tackles the Mandia seat. Meanwhile, Gaurav Gogoi, the state party chief, holds strong with his previous nomination from Jorhat.
