New Delhi: In view of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the brainstorming of candidates for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections has started at a more rapid pace. On Thursday, the Central Election Committee (CEC) of Congress has finalized the names of 40 candidates. In this list, Rahul Gandhi is going to contest elections once again from Wayanad seat of Kerala. Consensus on their ticket seems to be happening even more rapidly. However, there is still suspense on whether Rahul will contest from his traditional seat Amethi this time or not. The name of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge's son-in-law is also in the race for election candidates. The party is also keeping an eye on Rae Bareli.
Not only this, in the CEC meeting chaired by Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, discussion has also been started on a total of 60 Lok Sabha seats from 11 states and union territories. This includes the Lok Sabha seats of Delhi, Karnataka, Kerala, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, Sikkim, Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya and Lakshadweep.

In Kerala, the party's screening committee has also given Rahul Gandhi's name for the Wayanad seat. Some sources have also informed that there is every possibility that Rahul Gandhi is going to contest elections again from Wayanad. However, it is not yet clear whether Rahul Gandhi will contest from his old seat Amethi along with Wayanad or not.

Satheesan has informed that CEC has decided who will be the candidates for 16 seats. AICC is going to announce the names of the candidates today.
' Suspense continues on Priyanka Gandhi': According to the information received so far, Congress General Secretary is in suspense over the election politics of Priyanka Gandhi. Party sources say that Rahul Gandhi may be seen contesting from Amethi and Priyanka Gandhi Vadra from Rae Bareli. This seat was earlier held by Sonia Gandhi. But after Sonia's election as Rajya Sabha member, the party has to give a new candidate for this seat. Both Amethi and Rae Bareli seats are being called the stronghold of Gandhi family. Local Congress leaders have demanded that a member of the Gandhi family must contest elections from there. Rahul Gandhi had lost the election from Amethi seat in 2019. However, he won from Wayanad in Kerala. Before this, Rahul had also been MP from Amethi thrice.
Not only this, the statement of Congress General Secretary (Communication) Jairam Ramesh has also come regarding the candidature for Rae Bareli and Amethi seats. Continuing his point, he said that the work of Smriti Irani (BJP MP from Amethi) is also about making statements. CEC will decide from where Rahul Gandhi will contest elections. Amethi workers want Rahul to contest elections from there. The decision from where Priyanka will contest will also have to be taken by the CEC.
'Bhupesh Baghel will also contest general elections': If reports are to be believed, Congress MP from Thiruvananthapuram Shashi Tharoor is also expected to contest elections from this seat again. From Chhattisgarh, former CM Bhupesh Baghel can be fielded from Rajnandgaon, Tamradhwaj Sahu from Durg Mahasamund, Jyotsna Mahant from Korba and Shiv Dehriya from Janjgir-Champa seat. Former Deputy Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh TS Singhdev will not contest the elections.
'Kharge's son-in-law is ahead in the race in Karnataka': Not only this, no consensus has been reached on 4-5 seats in Karnataka. Here the top leadership has to take the final decision. Sources say that Gulbarga seat, which is a Congress stronghold, was not discussed in the meeting. It is reported that Radhakrishna Doddamani, son-in-law of Mallikarjun Kharge (81 years old), has moved ahead in the race for the ticket. Kharge himself has won the Lok Sabha elections from this seat twice. However, he had to face defeat in 2019. Kharge is a Rajya Sabha member and his term of 4 years is left. The final decision has to be taken by the party high command. Kharge's son Priyank Kharge has also won the election from Chitapur Assembly seat of Kalaburagi district for the third consecutive time.
