Jayant Chaudhary's RLD announces Lok Sabha candidates for Baghpat and Bijnor

In a major development ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, the Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD), on Monday, has announced candidates for Baghpat and Bijnor seats. According to reports, Rajkumar Saghwan will fight from the Baghpat sear while Chandan Chouhan will contest from the Bijnor seat. 

Earlier last month, Chaudhary had confirmed that his party would contest the



upcoming Lok Sabha elections in alliance with the NDA. His party was a part of the Opposition's I.N.D.I.A bloc. RLD became the second party to walk out of the alliance in the last month after Nitish Kumar-led JDU in Bihar. The moves of both the leaders came as major blows to the Opposition's unity as well as hopes to take on the BJP at the Centre in the general elections which are due in a few months.
