Uttarakhand polls: Ritu Bhushan Khanduri's name was not in the first list, fuelling speculation that the BJP may not give her ticket.
The BJP on Wednesday named nine more candidates for the Uttarakhand assembly polls, fielding former chief minister BS Khanduri's daughter Ritu Bhushan Khanduri from Kotdwar constituency which was won in 2017 by Harak Singh Rawat, now in the Congress.
Ms Khanduri's name was not in the first list of 59 candidates, fuelling speculation that the BJP may not give her ticket as the party named another leader from Yamkeshwar, the seat she had won in the last polls.
