Releasing the list of two Lok Sabha candidates—Chandan Chauhan from Bijnor and Dr Rajkumar Sangwan from Baghpat, an RLD stronghold – Jayant also announced name of Yogesh Chaudhury as party candidate for upcoming UP Council election for 13 seats.
While Chandan Chauhan, the candidate from Bijnor, is the sitting MLA of RLD from Meerapur assembly segment under Muzaffarnagar Lok Sabha constituency, Dr Sangwan, with a clean image, is party’s national general secretary. Speculations said Jayant wanted to field his wife from Baghpat, but to escape any allegation of dynastic favoritism, the RLD chief preferred Dr Sangwan.
