Today, bjp has put an end to all speculations and made Chandrabhan Paswan its candidate in the Milkipur by-election.
The Milkipur by-election has become a question of credibility for both SP and BJP. bjp has finally given a ticket to Chandrabhan Paswan and has posed a big challenge to SP. The reason for this is that SP candidate Ajit prasad and Chandrabhan Paswan belong to the Scheduled Caste. Through caste equations, bjp has tried to break into SP's vote bank. In such a situation, let us know who is bjp candidate Chandrabhan Paswan.
