Buoyed with the sterling performance in just-concluded Assembly polls, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will be campaigning for the JD (U) candidate in the November 21 lok Sabha by-poll for the Ratlam-Jhabua seat in Madhya Pradesh.
The JD (U) has fielded Vijay Haari as its candidate in the Ratlam-Jhabua lok Sabha constituency, where the by-election is caused by the death of Dileep Singh Bhuria, who won the seat on BJP ticket in 2014.
In what is seen as a keen contest, the CPI, CPM, Gondwana Gantantra Party, Rashtriya Samanta Dal and Bahujan Sangarsh Dal have pledged support to the JD (U) contestant in the by-poll.
JD (U) president Sharad Yadav will also address meetings in the constituency and the campaign managers are trying to rope in RJD chief lalu Prasad Yadav as well.
Madhya Pradesh JD (U) chief Govind Yadav told reporters here that both Sharad Yadav and Kumar will campaign for the party's joint candidate.
