Senior party leader Tariq Anwar has answered the question of when Congress will release the list of its candidates for the Bihar Assembly elections. Anwar said that the list of candidates will be released by Wednesday night. Everyone is aware of the sufferings that the people of Bihar have faced in the last twenty years.
