Failing to clinch a seat-sharing deal with the Congress for the upcoming Madhya Pradesh Assembly election, the Janata Dal (United) on Wednesday released its first list of five candidates for the poll.
The JD(U) is the third constituent of the Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) to go it alone in Madhya Pradesh. Earlier, the Samajwadi Party and the Aam Aadmi Party too had announced their candidates for the election.
The JD(U), Bihar’s ruling party, said it will contest in 10 to 12 seats in M.P. The election to the 230-member Assembly will be held on November 17.
