NEW DELHI: The Congress Party on Thursday released a list of 46 candidates for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections that includes sitting legislators and son of a former Union Minister.

Sanjeev Dariyabadi (Sisamau), Ajay Kapoor (Govind Nagar) and Ranjit Singh Judev (Gharouta), member of the council, have been nominated to contest the April-May polls.
