Chandigarh, January 23
The Sanyukt Samaj Morcha (SSM) has withdrawn the candidature of two of its nominess — Harvinder Singh Harpalpur and Balraj Singh Thakur — after several of its members protested against them being fielded from Rajpura and Kadian, respectively.
The morcha also announced eight new candidates today, including former BSP chief Rashpal Singh Raju and former bureaucrat Khushi Ram. Raju was expelled from the BSP last year, after he objected to the seat- sharing formula between the SAD and the BSP. He has now been fielded by the morcha from the Chabbewal constituency.
Khushi Ram, who had contested the 2019 polls on BSP ticket, has been fielded from Phagwara.
The other persons nominated by the morcha include Baba Chamkaur Singh (Bathinda Rural), Raj Kumar Mahal Khurd (Banga), Dr Jang Bahadur Singh Rai (Garhshankar), Jaswant Singh Randhawa (Mukerian), Gora Singh (Bhadaur) and Kuldeep Singh Dalla (Jagraon).
