It has fielded Thounaojam Basanta Kumar Singh, a minister in the Manipur government, from the Inner Manipur constituency in place of the Union minister.
In two Rajasthan constituencies, the BJP has fielded Indu Devi Jatav and Kanhaiya Lal Meena from Karauli-Dholpur and Dausa respectively, dropping sitting MPs Manoj Rajoria and Jaskaur Meena.
The BJP has now announced its candidates for 401 seats so far for the elections to the 543-member Lok Sabha, scheduled to be held between April 19 and June 1.
