The Rashtriya Lok Dal on Monday named candidates for the Baghpat and Bijnor Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh that were allocated to it as part of a seat-share plan with the Bharatiya Janata Party.
Senior leader Rajkumar Sangwan - who has been with the RLD since it was founded by Ajit Singh - will contest the Baghpat seat, which was won by the BJP's Satya Pal Singh in 2014 and 2019. This seat was contested by party boss Jayant Chaudhary five years ago. He lost by just under 20,000 votes.
