The Congress on Tuesday announced the candidature of senior party leader Raj Babbar from the Gurgaon Lok Sabha seat.

With this, the Congress has announced candidates for all the nine seats it is contesting in Haryana, which sends 10 members to the Lower House of Parliament.

The Kurukshetra seat is being fought by the Aam Aadmi Party, a constituent of the opposition INDIA bloc, of which the Congress is also a part.

Babbar has been fielded against Bharatiya Janata Party veteran and Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh.

Polling for all seats will be held on May 25 in the sixth round of the seven-phase general elections.

Additionally, veteran Congress leaders Anand Sharma has been fielded from Himachal Pradesh’s Kangra. Satpal Raizada from Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh and Bhushan Patil from Mumbai North are the other two names on the list.
