Here are all the names of the BJP candidates released in the 12th list of candidates for Lok Sabha elections:

Chhatrapati Udayanraje Bhosale	Satara (Maharashtra)
Manjeet Singh Manna Mianwind	Khadoor Sahib (Punjab)
Anita Som Parkash	Hoshiarpur-SC (Punjab)
Bathinda	Parampal Kaur Sidhu (Punjab)
Thakur Vishwadeep Singh	Firozabad (UP)
Shashank Mani Tripathi	Deoria (UP)
Abhijit Das (Bobby)	Diamond Harbour (West Bengal)

The BJP's choice in Satara is sure to ruffle feathers in the Ajit Pawar-led NCP camp, which is in alliance with the saffron party, as senior leader Praful Patel was reportedly keen on contesting the seat.

In Bengal, the BJP has pitted its own 'Bobby' entrepreneur and the party's former South 24 Parganas president Abhijit Das against TMC General Secretary and sitting MP in Diamond Harbour. TMC, too, has a senior leader fondly called 'Bobby' — but he is the mayor of Kolkata. The Left Front has decided to field Pratik-ur-Rahman.

Former MLA from the Siromani Akali Dal Manjeet Singh Manna Mianwind has been fielded from Khadoor. He will go up against Laljeet Singh Bhullar of the AAP and Harpal Singh Baler of the SAD.

Former IAS officer Anita Som Parkash has been fielded from Hoshiarpur.

Sikander Singh Maluka’s daughter-in-law Parampal Kaur Sidhu has got the BJP ticket to face SAD's senior leader and former Union minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal in Bathinda.
