Unfazed by reports of dissentions and defections in search of ‘greener’ pastures, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday declared a list of 18 candidates for the Lok SAbha elections scheduled to be held in May. Prominent on the list was former union minister for external affairs, Yashwant Sinha.
Sinha will contest from Hazaribagh in Jharkhand.
The names were finalised at the central election committee's meeting at the BJP headquarters here, party general secretary Ananth Kumar told reporters.
The party has decided to announce all its candidates by the end of this month. It made an early start having already finalised 14 candidates late last year.
The party named a total of four candidates from Jharkhand, six from Kerala, three from Himachal Pradesh, two from Tripura and one each from Manipur and union territories of Chandigarh and Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
