Rashtriya Lok Dal has fielded Gulam Mohammed from Sivalkhaas and Manisha Ahalawat from Meerut Cantonment on the two seats it got under the seat-sharing formula following in the alliance with Samajwadi Party.
Manisha Ahalwat is the daughter of former MLA Chandraveer Singh.
RLD leader Anil Dubey congratulated the candidates and wished them success. He asked the party workers and leaders to work hard for the victory of RLD candidates. He said RLD, which had a strong presence among farmers in west UP, had gained an edge over others due to the farmers’ agitation.
