01:35We have Amit Bardhwar joining us on the broadcast with more details on this very breaking news now that we
01:43bring to you.
01:43Amit, a very good evening to you. 71 candidates as of now, the total number that's been released, 31 more
01:50added to that list.
01:52Now, there was a lot of hue and cry right after the first list had come out, especially with regards
01:58to the choice of candidates.
02:00One of them is, in fact, still under arrest.
02:04This time, take us through the list, how you're viewing it and what are some of the crucial names we
02:09are looking at.
02:14Shri, as far as the first list is concerned, that particular person, the sitting minister, Sanjeev Aroda, being in the
02:21jail and being fielded by Amadmi Party was a political message that was sent across by Amadmi Party to its
02:28candidates, to its cadre that look, if the agencies come after you, we will be backing you.
02:33Now, focusing on the second list, 31 names have been announced.
02:37What is the feature? Biggest feature of the second list is that these are the seats where the Amadmi Party
02:42had lost either to the Congress Party or Akali Dhal or even BSP.
02:4621 such seats have been identified and priority has been given to the workers of the party, the cadre of
02:52the party and 21 MLA candidates have been fielded from such seats where the Amadmi Party has lost them in
03:022022 battle.
03:03So, those seats, 21 such candidates have been fielded.
03:08Eight sitting MLAs have been denied ticket by Amadmi Party in the second list, including Cabinet Minister Khudiyan.
03:16And he has been replaced by his own nephew from that particular seat.
03:21So, that is also a family member, possibly a younger person from the family, political family being given that ticket.
03:28Important to note is that they have also sent across a message in this second list because they are also
03:34prioritizing seats where certain parties have bastion.
03:39Majita seat, which happens to be the Akali Dhal bastion.
03:42The Amadmi Party has fielded Talwinder Singh from that particular seat, ex-Akali leader, now part of the Amadmi Party.
03:50So, there is a lot of permutation combination that's being tried out this time as we gather from the second
03:55list.
03:56Thank you for putting that into perspective.
