The LJP(R) list features several senior leaders and close aides of Paswan, including state president Raju Tiwari, general secretary Sanjay Paswan, and parliamentary board chairman Hulas Pandey. Notably, Paswan’s nephew Seemant Mrinal—son of Dhananjay Paswan, recently appointed chairman of the State Scheduled Caste Commission by the Nitish Kumar government—has also been given a ticket.
Sanjay Singh has been fielded from the Mahua constituency, signalling the party’s intent to place familiar faces and loyal cadres in key seats ahead of a high-stakes election.
