Summary:
PATNA: PM Narendra Modi would launch the NDA’s parliamentary election campaign in the state by addressing public meetings at Jamui and Gaya on April 2. Even as PM Modi and Shah are set to launch the NDA’s poll campaign, there are several loose strings dangling.For, the sitting BJP MP from Nawada is Union minister Giriraj Singh. He, however, has been shifted to Begusarai where CPI has former JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar as its nominee. Chandan is the younger brother of former MP and strong man Suraj Bhan Singh, who, in turn, is the husband of the party’s sitting MP from Munger Veena Singh. Chirag Paswan and Chandan Kumar of LJP are contesting from Jamui and Nawada, respectively while BJP left its Gaya seat for ally JD(U) which has fielded Vijay Kumar Manjhi, son of former MLA Bhagwatiya Devi..
