Punjab Congress today denied the finalisation of the first list of its candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections, saying any such list reported to be in circulation in social media is "totally fake".
In a statement issued here, state Congress general secretary Sandeep Sandhu said, a list, purported to be the final first list of Congress candidates for the Assembly polls, is doing rounds in the social media.
It is clearly a "motivated by mischief" at the behest of disruptive elements spreading disinformation and trying to trigger trouble for the party. No list of candidates has either been finalised yet or released, he said.
Sandhu said anyone taking the list seriously would do so at the risk of losing their own credibility.
