After revoking the ticket of its declared candidate Ravindra Kumar Yadav for the Darbhanga Lok Sabha seat, Jan Suraj named Dr. Imtiaz Noorani as its new nominee, prompting Yadav to accuse the party of betrayal and announce an independent run.
Jan Suraj, a regional political outfit, has withdrawn the election ticket it had earlier granted to Ravindra Kumar Yadav for the Darbhanga parliamentary constituency. The party subsequently announced Dr. Imtiaz Noorani as its new candidate for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Yadav publicly expressed his dismay, stating that the reversal was impossible for him and labeling the move as a betrayal by the party leadership. He accused Jan Suraj of unfair treatment and declared his intention to contest the election as an independent candidate.
The sudden change is expected to reshape the contest in Darbhanga, where Jan Suraj had positioned itself as a key challenger. Analysts note that the party now faces the dual challenge of rallying support behind Noorani while countering a potential split of its traditional vote base due to Yadav's independent bid.
Election officials have yet to receive formal nominations from either candidate, and the final list of contenders will be confirmed after the filing deadline later this month.
