Patna, October 18 (Udaipur Kiran): The Communist Party of India (Marxist–Leninist), a key constituent of Bihar’s Mahagathbandhan, has released its list of candidates for the upcoming state assembly elections. The party has announced names for a total of 20 constituencies to be contested in two phases, ensuring representation from both Scheduled Castes and the general category.
Under the first phase, CPI(ML) has declared candidates for 14 constituencies, including prominent seats such as Bhore, Ziradei, Darauli, Daraunda, Kalyanpur, Warisnagar, Rajgir, Digha, and Phulwari.
The candidates announced are Dhananjay from Bhore, Amarjeet Kushwaha from Ziradei, Satyadev Ram from Darauli, Amarnath Yadav from Daraunda, Ranjit Kumar Ram from Kalyanpur, Phoolbabu Singh from Warisnagar, Vishwanath Chaudhary from Rajgir, Divya Gautam from Digha, Gopal Ravidas from Phulwari, Sandeep Saurabh from Paliganj, Kyamuddin Ansari from Ara, Shiv Prakash Ranjan from Agiaon, Madan Singh from Tarari, and Ajit Kumar Singh from Dumraon.
All the candidates from the first list have already filed their nominations. However, from Bhore constituency, Jitendra Paswan has also filed his nomination as a CPI(ML) candidate, though the party has officially declared Dhananjay as its representative. The last date for filing nominations for the first phase was October 17.
For the second phase, CPI(ML) has named candidates for six seats — Virendra Prasad Gupta from Sikta, Anil Kumar from Pipra (Supaul), Mahboob Alam from Balrampur, Arun Singh from Karakat, Mahanand Singh from Arwal, and Ram Bali Singh Yadav from Ghosi.
CPI(ML) is contesting the Bihar Assembly elections as part of the Mahagathbandhan alliance with the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). However, the final decision on seat-sharing among the alliance partners is still pending, leading to friendly contests in several constituencies in the first phase.
