The Congress released its second list of 41 candidates, for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections starting February 10.
The list includes Poonam Pandit, who has been fielded from the Syana Assembly constituency.
She is an international shooter and rose to limelight during the farmer’s agitation against the three farm laws, which were later repealed.
The Congress had promised to reserve 40 per cent seats for women candidates in Uttar Pradesh, which is reflected in the second list.
The Congress had earlier released a list of 125 candidates in its first list which had included 50 women.
The Congress has so far announced 166 candidates for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, which will be held in seven phases starting from February 10 and will end on March 7. The results will be declared on March 10.
