In its fifth list, the BJP also named its candidates from seven more seats following a break in its alliance with the AJSU. With this, the saffron party has named its nominees for most of the seats for the five-phase polls to the 81-member Assembly.
Elections are scheduled to be held between November 30 and December 20 in the BJP-ruled state.
