Raj Babbar to Contest From Fatehpur Sikri Instead of Moradabad

In the seventh list of candidates, the party declared candidates for nine Lok Sabha seats from Uttar Pradesh.

The Congress has changed the seat allotted to its Uttar Pradesh unit chief Raj Babbar from Moradabad to Fatehpur Sikri, in an apparent bid to make the Lok Sabha contest easier for the actor-turned-politician.

In its seventh list of candidates announced in New Delhi on Friday night, the party declared its picks for nine Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh.

Imran Pratapgarhiya will now be the party's candidate from Moradabad in place of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee (UPCC) chief, who will now contest from Fatehpur Sikri.
