Bihar Assembly Election 2025: The Janata Dal (United) has released its first list of 57 candidates for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. The party has agreed to contest on 101 seats as per the NDA seat-sharing deal. The BJP has also got 101 seats to contest, and was the first NDA party to release its list.
Now, the JDU has announced the names of its candidates, amid objections from several leaders over ticket distribution. Party MP Ajay Mandal resigned earlier on Tuesday expressing displeasure as party did not consult him over ticket distribution.
On the other hand, sitting JD(U) MLA, Gopal Mandal staged a sit-in protest outside the house of CM Nitish Kumar for over 4 hours seeking ticket. The four-time MLA said he won’t move unless given ticket again.
