Patna. After seat sharing in NDA, JDU has almost decided its candidates and its formal announcement will be made soon. According to the information given by JDU sources, according to the names decided, most of them are the same candidates to whom the party had given tickets in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. JDU has expressed confidence in them and this time also most of the same candidates are contesting the elections.
Actually, the party believes that due to the wave of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the NDA alliance in Bihar, the situation is favorable and the candidates will not face any difficulty in winning. At the same time, there is a possibility that if too many candidates are changed then there may be a situation of rebellion within the party, due to which the matter may get messed up.
This strategy of JDU is also being linked to cabinet expansion. When Nitish Kumar, instead of making any new MLA a minister, gave place to all the old faces in the cabinet, so that no new MLA gets displeased and the old ones also do not get displeased. At the same time, some seats have been swapped, due to which the candidate’s ticket has been cut, about which JDU is giving clarification.
According to the probable candidates of JDU, Sunil Kumar from Valmikinagar, Ajay Mandal from Bhagalpur, Dinesh Chandra Yadav from Madhepura, Rampreet Mandal from Jhanjharpur, Dileshwar Kamat from Supaul, Chandeshwar Chandravanshi from Jehanabad, Girdhari Yadav from Banka, Dulalchand Goswami from Katihar, Lovely Anand from Shivhar, Master Mujahid from Kishanganj and Devesh Chandra Thakur from Sitamarhi can be candidates.
At the same time, the names of Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Linh from Munger, Alok Suman from Gopalganj, Santosh Kushwaha from Purnia and Kaushalendra Kumar from Nalanda are almost certain. At the same time, there is some controversy regarding Siwan and Kavita Singh can be the candidate from here, if no consensus is reached then it is possible that someone from Kushwaha caste can be a candidate from Siwan seat.
