The RJD will contest 26 seats, nine more than it had fought in 2019 when it drew a blank. The Congress has got nine seats, as many as it had contested in the last elections, followed by CPI(ML) Liberation (three) and CPI and CPI(M) (one each).
The belated announcement, coming a day after filing of nomination papers for the first phase of Lok Sabha polls was over, was made at a press conference here addressed by RJD National Spokesman and Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Kumar Jha, state Congress President Akhilesh Prasad Singh, and state-level leaders of CPI(ML) Liberation, CPI and CPI(M).
Tejashwi Yadav, the Mahagathbandhan's leader in the state legislature, was scheduled to address the press conference but remained conspicuous by his absence.
