Top Congress leaders met here on Sunday to discuss the party's Lok Sabha poll candidates for Punjab and Bihar. Sources said the next list of candidates will be announced "very soon".

Sources said several names were discussed for both states and a final decision on key seats was left for the Congress president to take.

The Congress has so far declared 285 candidates for the seven phase parliamentary polls that began on April 19.
