The Bharatiya Janata Party has named its candidates for the four remaining seats in the Bihar Legislative Council, while the Janata Dal (United) had earlier announced its four candidates. No seat was allocated to a JD(U) ally.

Patna, September 29 (ANI) – The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has released the list of its candidates for the four vacant seats in the Bihar Legislative Council. This follows the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), which had earlier announced its slate of candidates for four other seats.

The BJP’s announcement confirms that the party will contest all four remaining seats on its own, without allocating any of them to a JD(U) ally. Party officials said the chosen candidates are well‑known within the state’s political circles, and their names have not caused surprise among observers.

Election officials have yet to schedule the voting for these council seats, but the candidate lists are now official. Both parties are expected to campaign in the coming weeks ahead of the council polls.

The move underscores the BJP’s intent to maintain a strong independent presence in the Bihar Legislative Council, while JD(U) continues to field its own contenders for the seats it had previously earmarked.
