BJP may field eighth candidate
Amidst the ongoing tussle in the Samajwadi Party, BJP may field its eighth candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections. After RLD joining NDA, BJP’s numerical strength has increased.
On the other hand, SP MLA Pallavi Patel has announced not to vote. BJP has got an inkling that some other SP MLAs may also rebel. In such a situation, BJP has started work on the possibility of fielding an eighth candidate. This issue will be discussed with party state president Bhupendra Chaudhary and election in-charge Baijayant Panda on Wednesday.
