BJP releases third list of candidates for Bihar polls, finalises all 101 seats
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday released its third list of 18 candidates for the Bihar Assembly elections, bringing the total number of declared nominees to 101, the full quota of seats allotted to the party under the NDA seat-sharing arrangement.
Earlier in the day, the BJP had announced its second list of 12 names, while the first list of 71 candidates was unveiled on Tuesday.
The initial list featured several prominent leaders, including Deputy Chief Ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, who will contest from Tarapur and Lakhisarai, respectively, along with six state ministers.
Polling for the 243-member Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases, on November 6 and 11, with vote counting on November 14.
Among BJP’s allies, Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) have also begun announcing their candidates.
Meanwhile, the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) has declared all six of its nominees for the upcoming polls.
