BJP releases second list of candidates for UP polls

 [IST]
New Delhi, Mar 16 (UNI) The Central Election Committee (CEC) of the BJP tonight released the second list of ten candidates for the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.

Following are the candidates: Ram Bahadur Singh (Hardoi), Pradeep Kumar Varma (Bawan), Harsahai alias Madan Mishra (Hadha), Ramchandra Mishra (Isauli), Sameer Kumar Singh (Paniara), Sudama Singh (Sikanderpur), sitting MLA Ajay Rai (Kolsala), Murari Agarwal (Mathura), Rambir alias Bhaiyya (Hathras) and Brahmapal Singh Tomar (Chhaprauli).

BJP leaders said the party, having struck an electoral understanding with Apna Dal and Janata Dal (United), will contest 353 odd constituencies, out of a total of 403 seats and will leave the rest to its allies.

Law and order, corruption, malgovernance, price rise and freeing the administration from the 'goonda' elements will be the issues the party would be taking up besides treading a hard Hindutva line ahead of the elections.

The CEC released the first list comprising 317 candidates on Wednesday.
