Congress has given ticket to Satpal Raijada against Union Minister and BJP leader Anurag Thakur from Hamirpur Lok Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh. Bhushan Patil has been made the candidate for Mumbai North seat in Maharashtra.
Raj Babbar lost two consecutive Lok Sabha elections
Former UP Congress state president Raj Babbar had contested the last two Lok Sabha elections from Fatehpur Sikri seat of UP. He had to face defeat both the times. On the other hand, if we talk about Anand Sharma, he has been one of those who have blown the trumpet against the Congress leadership.
These rebel leaders of Congress were called the G-23 group. Although this rebellion ended in a few months, leaders like Ghulam Nabi Azad and Kapil Sibal left the Congress and took a different path.
