Bihar elections: RJD to distribute tickets based on candidate's popularity
Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata
Dal (RJD) leaders have said that the ticket distribution for
each constituency would be done on the basis of the popularity of candidates.
Tej
Pratap Yadav, the state's former Health Minister and elder son of RJD chief Lalu
Prasad, said that an internal survey is currently underway in Bihar and the agency
involved in the exercise is interacting with voters and taking their feedback.
"Based
on the reports, the party's core committee will decide the eligibility of
candidates. It is a democratic process to choose winning candidates for the
party. It will also minimise chances of less eligible candidates to bag ticket
on the basis of good contacts with top leadership," he said.
Tej
Pratap also said that "ticket distribution is extremely secret operation
within the party".
"Even,
I did not know from which constituency I would be fielded," he added.
In
the 2015 Assembly election, he won from the Mahua constituency in Vaishali.
