The BJP — in its second list comprising 64 candidates for the Chhattisgarh Assembly polls — has fielded three Lok Sabha MPs, a former Chief Minister, nearly a dozen former Cabinet Ministers, and 11 of its 13 sitting MLAs.
The list also features a film actor, two former Indian Administrative Services officers, the father of a youth who was killed in a recent communal clash, and two members of the Jashpur royal family known for its anti-religious conversion “ghar wapsi” campaign in the northern tribal belt of the State.
