Jammu, Oct 04: The BJP on Saturday announced its decision to contest all Rajya Sabha seats scheduled for election on October 24.

Speaking to the news agency, BJP spokesperson Sunil Sethi said, “We have decided to contest all seats. We are fielding three candidates.”

While the BJP will field one candidate each for the first two seats, it will field only one candidate for the remaining two seats, for which only one election will be held.

The BJP is expected to field the first two candidates for a ‘symbolic’ fight against the ruling NC-led alliance, which will win both these seats comfortably. However, the party is expected to field a heavyweight candidate for one of the two remaining seats, where it has strong chances of winning.
