    With the much-awaited assembly elections for five states just around the corner, the Congress party officially released its first list of candidates on Sunday for Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, and Chhattisgarh.

    In an official release, the grand old party announced candidates for 144 assembly seats in Madhya Pradesh, 55 in Telangana, and 30 in Chhattisgarh.

    So, here are some of the key names fielded by the Congress in these states!

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Last Monday, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the schedule for assembly polls in Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Mizoram, and Rajasthan.

    While polling will be held on different days from November 7 to 30, the counting of votes will take place on December 3.

    These elections are largely regarded as a litmus test for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
