Guwahati: The list of Congress candidates for the ensuing assembly polls in Assam is expected to be declared by March 13, AICC General Secretary Digvijaya Singh said on Wednesday.
He made it clear that those who have been convicted in criminal cases will not be given ticket.
"The two-day screening committee meeting will be held in New Delhi from Thursday and the list can be expected by March 13," Singh told reporters here after attending the election committee meeting at party headquarters, Rajiv Bhavan.
Singh, who is in-charge of the party in the state, attended the election committee meeting to shortlist names of candidates.
Denying any kind of dissidence in the party over ticket distribution, the Congress leader said those who are convicted in criminal cases will not be selected.
"Filing of charge sheet cannot be the basis for denying tickets. Conviction in criminal case will be the criteria", he said.
