Bhopal . Former chief minister and state unit chief Kamal Nath on Monday said the Congress will release its second list of candidates for the Madhya Pradesh Assembly elections to be held on November 17 in the next two-three days.

When asked about the people disappointed with the ticket cancellation, the Congress leader said that he has spoken to all of them, but the party will have to take tough decisions.
He further said, “Candidates have been selected keeping in mind the social structure of each district and assembly seat. 4,000 applications were received for 230 seats. Everyone claimed that they will win the election, but we have to face difficulties in selecting the candidates.” Different parameters have to be looked at.”
Responding to a question on his candidature from his hometown Chhindwara, Kamal Nath said that neither is he interested in contesting elections nor is he worried about it.
He said that Lok Sabha MP Nakul Nath will announce the names of Chhindwara candidates along with him.
He said, “Nakul Nath will be the first to announce the names of Chhindwara candidates in Chhindwara. Then the central leadership in Delhi will finalize it.
During this, he took a dig at Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and said that Congress has fielded an actor against the actor (Chouhan).
Kamal Nath said, “It will be interesting to see who will be the better actor. Shivraj is an experienced actor, which is why we have fielded an actor against him.” (IANS)
