The Congress on Thursday declared its second list of 41 candidates for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls. Of these, 16 are women.
Congress had promised to give 40 per cent seats to women candidates in Uttar Pradesh which is reflected in the second list. Last week, the party’s first list of 125 candidates had 40 per cent women candidates numbering 50 nominees in this list.
Among the women were the mother of the Unnao rape survivor, an ASHA worker who was roughed up by police, a former SP leader who was attacked during the panchayat elections and a social activist and Congress leader who was jailed during the anti-CAA protests.
Before the Congress party declared its second list of 41 candidates for the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls, Raebareli Sadar MLA Aditi Singh resigned from the party.
Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections will be held in seven phases starting from February 10 and will end on March 7.
