The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) on Wednesday replaced its candidates on seven seats in western Uttar Pradesh, with the adjustment of new entrants and rebels.
Former MLA and Gurjar leader Kartar Singh Bhadana was nominated as the candidate from the Khatauli seat in Muzaffarnagar. He replaced Majid Siddiqui, the BSP’s Muzaffarnagar district president, who was earlier declared the party’s candidate.
Mr. Bhadana had won the seat in 2012 on a Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) symbol. The BSP had earlier nominated Muslims on four out of the six seats in Muzaffarnagar, including Khatauli.
