The AICC has not approved the list of candidates yet. The “list” under circulation is fake. It has been done to create confusion.
Please don’t patronize products of the #FakeNews factory.
AICC general secretary Madhu Goud Yaskhi speaking to reporters in New Delhi cautioned that a fake list of Congress candidates containing AICC seal was being circulated in social media. "We will file a complaint with the police regarding the matter. We have only finished the meeting of the screening committee. The Congress central election committee (CEC) is yet to meet," he said.
He also put the blame on BJP for the fake list. "This is the handiwork of the BJP IT cell. They are experts in coming up with fake news. Even Smriti Irani's certificate is fake. Modi's certificate is also fake. Such fake people have created this fake list," he said.Source: Daijiworld
