The Congress on Tuesday announced a fresh list of three candidates for three Lok Sabha seats from Jharkhand, fielding MLA Deepika Pandey Singh against BJP’s Nishikant Dubey in Godda.
The other two candidates are former Jharkhand Minister K.N. Tripathi, who has been fielded from Chatra, and Anupama Singh from Dhanbad.
Ms. Pandey is the sitting MLA from Mahagama Assembly constituency that comes under Godda parliamentary seat. She will be taking on Mr. Dubey, who is a high-profile MP, known for making sharp attacks on the Gandhi family.
