New Delhi: Congress leader JP Aggarwal on Monday thanked the party’s high command for nominating him to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections from the Chandni Chowk seat in Delhi, saying he will fight to solve regional issues.

Expressing happiness over his candidature, JP Aggarwal said, “I thank the Congress high command for believing in me and giving me a chance to serve the people of my constituency.”

“To contest elections, one needs to have issues and plans. The major issue for traders in the region is GST. We will take up issues such as unemployment and inflation. I will be alert about the regional issues and fight for them,” the Congress leader added.

Earlier on Sunday, the Congress announced its candidates for three Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi, where it is contesting in alliance with AAP, fielding Kanhaiya Kumar from the North East Delhi seat and Udit Raj from North West Delhi.

The party also named JP Agarwal as its candidate for the Chandni Chowk seat. The polling day in the NCT of Delhi is scheduled for May 25.
