JD(U) to fight in all 272 wards

January 20, 2017 01:25 am | Updated 01:25 am IST - New Delhi:

A little over a month after it was relaunched, the Delhi unit of the Janata Dal (United) announced it would contest the upcoming municipal elections from all 272 wards.

The party’s Delhi unit chief Raj Singh Mamn said that the decision was in line with the JD(U)’s intent to expand its base and influence in Delhi.

On December 3 last year, the party had been officially relaunched at a ceremony presided over by its national chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
