JD(U) announces candidates for all 16 Lok Sabha seats
Patna:
The JD(U), led by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, on Sunday announced its candidates for all 16 Lok Sabha seats contesting in the state, ditching two sitting MPs and fielding two turncoats .
The announcement was made by the party’s national vice-president Vashishth Narayan Singh in the presence of several other senior JD(U) leaders.
The seats from which the sitting members were ousted include Sitamarhi and Siwan, where Legislative Council chief Devesh Chandra Thakur will be the JD(U) candidate, while Vijay Laxmi Kushwaha bagged Sivan’s ticket a day after joining the party along with husband Ramesh Singh. Kushwaha is the state president of the Rashtriya Lok Morcha, an NDA ally.
Another turncoat who won a party ticket is Lovely Anand, who quit the RJD to join the JD(U) earlier this month. She will contest from Siohar polls.
