Lok Sabha Elections 2024: The Indian National Congress (Congress) has released its list of candidates for Goa North, Goa South, Morena, Gwalior, Khandwa, and Dadra & Nagar Haveli (ST) Lok Sabha seats, ahead of the upcoming General Elections. For Goa North, the Congress has named Ramakant Khalap, while Capt. Viriato Fernandes will represent the party from the Goa South Lok Sabha seat.

For the Madhya Pradesh LS seats, Satyapal Singh Sikaewar will represent the party from Morena, while Praveen Pathank will be its candidate from Gwalior, and Narendra Patel will stand from Khandwa. From the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli (ST), the Congress has named Ajit Ramjibhai Mahla as its LS candidate. Congress leader and MP Rahul Gandhi believes his party has a chance of winning the upcoming 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Speaking to reporters after the Congress released its 2024 manifesto called ‘Nyay Patra’ on April 5, Gandhi expressed confidence in his party and said projections are underestimating their odds. “It is a much closer election than is being propagated by the media. It is a close election and we are going to fight an excellent election and we are going to win the election," he said.

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge and former president Rahul Gandhi released the Nyay Patra manifesto at the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in New Delhi last evening. The manifesto promises to ensure that minorities in the country will have the freedom of choice of dress, food, language and personal laws. For voters, it also vowed to amend the election laws as it suggested a combination of electronic voting machines and ballot paper to conduct elections.
