The New Indian Express
|April 11, 2024
THE BJP on Wednesday released its 10th list of candidates for 11 Lok Sabha seats, including the high-profile Asansol seat in West Bengal and Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh.
The party has kept winnability factor and caste equations in mind and fielded Neeraj Shekhar, the son of former PM Chandrashekhar, from Balia and sitting MP SS Ahluwalia from Asansol against TMC's Shatrughan Sinha.
Ahluwalia represents Bardhaman-Durgapur Lok Sabha seat in West Bengal in the 17th Lok Sabha. Out of 9 Lok Sabha seats, 7 are in UP, 1 each in Chandigarh and West Bengal.
In the list of seven candidates released for UP on Wednesday, the BJP snubbed three more sitting MPs from Ballia, Allahabad and Phulpur while introducing a new face in Ghazipur to take on SP's Afzal Ansari.
