The Janata Dal (United) nominee Dr. Ghanashyam Rai’s candidacy from Darbhanga’s teacher constituency is under scrutiny after the LNMAU sought a No‑Objection Certificate from the state secretariat.
Darbhanga’s teacher constituency is set to vote in the upcoming legislative assembly elections, with Dr. Ghanashyam Rai named as the Janata Dal (United) candidate. The former professor, who has been active in local educational circles, filed his nomination paperwork earlier this week.
The Local Natives’ Mahila Union (LNMAU) has raised objections, requesting a No‑Objection Certificate (NOC) from the state secretariat before the candidate’s nomination can be accepted. The union argues that procedural clearance is required to ensure the candidate’s eligibility under election rules.
State officials have acknowledged the LNMAU’s petition and indicated that the secretariat will review the request in accordance with the Election Commission’s guidelines. No final decision has been announced, and the matter remains pending as the filing deadline approaches.
If the NOC is not granted, Dr. Rai’s candidacy could be withdrawn, potentially reshaping the contest in the constituency and affecting JD(U)’s prospects in the region.
