No leader of any alliance partners was present when RJD State chief Jagdanand Singh announced names of candidates
By-elections for Bihar’s Kusheshwar Asthan in Darbhanga district and Tarapur in Munger will see a direct contest between the ruling JD(U) and Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on October 30.
The RJD State president Jagdanand Singh announced the names of long time party workers Ganesh Bharti and Arun Kumar Shah from Kusheswar Asthan and Tarapur respectively.
However, the Congress party which had earlier staked claim on Kusheshwar Asthan seat, said the RJD has announced names of “its party leaders and not of mahagathbandhan candidates on both the seats”.
