Bihar by-polls: RJD, CPI(ML) announce candidates for vacant assembly seats, NDA camp reveals nominees, spotlight on Jan Suraaj.
The INDIA bloc in Bihar on Sunday (October 20, 2024) announced candidates for the State by-polls scheduled next month to four assembly seats, three of which fell vacant upon its MLAs getting elected to the Lok Sabha.
The announcement came at a press conference addressed by state Congress president Akhilesh Prasad Singh, his RJD counterpart Jagadanand Singh and leaders of CPI(ML), CPI and CPI(M).
Three of the seats, Ramgarh, Belaganj and Imamganj, will be contested by RJD, while the CPI(ML) will seek to retain Tarari.
From Ramgarh, the RJD candidate is Ajit Singh, a son of Jagadanand Singh and brother of Sudhakar Singh whose election to Lok Sabha from Jehanabad necessitated the by-poll.
In Belaganj, Vishwanath Kumar Singh will be making his debut from the seat represented, formerly, by his father Surendra Prasad Yadav, now the MP from Jehanabad.
In Imamganj, the only seat which the INDIA bloc seeks to wrest from BJP-led NDA, the RJD has given ticket to Roshan Manjhi, a former member of the Zilla Parishad in Gaya.
The CPI(ML)‘s candidate in Tarari is Raju Yadav, who had in 2019 unsuccessfully contested Arrah Lok Sabha seat which was wrested this year, from two-term BJP MP and former Union Minister R.K. Singh by Sudama Prasad whose election necessitated the by-poll.
