Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraaj Releases Names Of 51 Candidates For Bihar Polls. Check Constituency-Wise List
Jan Suraaj announces 51 candidates for Bihar Assembly elections, featuring a diverse slate including RK Mishra, Preeti Kinnar, KC Sinha, and new faces. Focus on minority representation.
Jan Suraaj has announced its list of 51 candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, setting the stage for what promises to be a highly competitive race. The party has selected a diverse group of individuals, each vying for a chance to represent their constituencies.
Among the key names is RK Mishra from Darbhanga, Prithi Kinnar from Gopalganj, and KC Sinha from Kumhrar. The party has also fielded Y.B. Giri from Manjhi, Digvijay Narayan Prasad from Valmikinagar, and Afroz Alam from Amour, Purnia. Other notable candidates include Kunal Nishad from Pranpur, Katihar, and Ramapresh Kumar Yadav from Supaul.
The list also features Usha Kiran from Surand and Sunil Kumar from Loria, reflecting the party's strategic focus on key regions across the state.
As the election approaches, other major parties are still navigating seat-sharing disputes. In the NDA, Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi’s firm stance on their seat demands have stalled any final agreement. Similarly, in the Grand Alliance, friction over seat allocation, especially from Mukesh Sahni's VIP and the Left parties—has created significant hurdles for Tejashwi Yadav, making the race even more unpredictable.
