RLD keen to contest three seats in upcoming UP by-polls

The Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) will contest Meerapur, Khair and Ghaziabad seats. A senior RLD leader said that Meerapur was a “natural choice” since the seat fell vacant after party MLA Chandan Chauhan got elected to Lok Sabha from Bijnor. RLD seeks to tighten its grip in the constituency which has a sizable population of Jat and Gurjar, the two communities which play a key role in determining the electoral fortunes of any political outfit in the west UP region.
