The party has fielded Lalu Prasad’s daughters Rohini Acharya and Misa Bharti from Saran and Pataliputra Lok Sabha constituencies respectively.
Meanwhile, Bima Bharti will contest from Purnea, Jai Prakash Yadav from Banka, Vijay Kumar Shukla from Vaishali and Ali Ashraf Fatmi from Madhubani.
Rohini Acharya, who kicked off her election campaign last week, will be contesting against sitting BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy. In Pataliputra, Misa Bharti will be fighting against Lalu’s former aide Ram Kirpal Yadav, who quit the RJD to join the BJP in 2014.
Lalu’s party has also fielded gangster-turned-politician Vijay Kumar Shukla alias Munna Shukla from Vaishali. Meanwhile, former ministers Alok Mehta, Sudhakar Singh and Lalit Yadav will contest the Lok Sabha elections from Ujiyarpur, Buxar and Darbhanga seats.
Bima Bharti, RJD candidate from Purnea, who recently switched from JD(U) to RJD will face a tough fight against Pappu Yadav, who recently merged his party with Congress, but filed his nomination as an independent candidate.
