In the first list, there are three Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) contestants __ Lalit Basoya (Dhoraji), Nilesh Kumbani (Kamrej) and Amit Thummar (Junagadh). Out of the 77 candidates, there are 11 ST candidates and 7 SC candidates.
The Congress earlier released a list of candidates on it's Twitter handle which was later retracted as the list was incorrect, Congress said.
Meanwhile, BJP circulated a list of Congress candidates on social media. Upon investigation by Congress IT cell, it was found the phone used for BJP's website was used to circulate the list, Gujarat Congress said.
''BJP must answer people why did it resort to such gimmick and circulated the false list. It must apologize to the public,'' said Manish Doshi, Gujarat Pradesh Congress Committee spokesperson.
''Letter pad of Congress and signatures of our President have been misused to circulate false list on social media,'' Doshi alleged.
