Bihar: Pushpam Priya Choudhary’s Plurals to contest all 243 seats

PATNA: Plurals, a political party recently formed by Pushpam Priya Choudhary, a London School of Economics alumnus and daughter of JD(U) functionary Binod Chaudhary, on Tuesday announced it would contest all 243 seats in the state in the upcoming assembly elections.
Plurals general secretary Anupam Kumar Suman, who made an announcement in this regard, however, said he would not contest the election. “I will only look after the party’s cadre formation drive,” Suman, the former Patna Municipal Corporation commissioner, said.
He added Plurals would contest the election on the agenda of development. “The party will field educated and intellectual candidates on all seats. The names of the candidates will be announced soon,” Suman said.
He added, “The party believes Bihar has not developed like other big states in the country. People in Plurals know how to usher in development in the state. Plurals is no more a social media-centric party. The party has made the necessary groundwork for fighting the elections.”
Suman said Pushpam would be the chief ministerial candidate of the party. It may be recalled that Pushpam had announced formation of her party through full-page advertisements published in newspapers on International Women’s Day on March 8 this year.
Suman said, “Pushpam is our CM face. It was already announced on March 8. Initially, I did not support her idea of forming a political party in a state like Bihar. However, her hard work and determination made be believe that change is in the air. We are friends as we studied in the same university.”
He made it clear that Plurals will not go for an alliance with any political party in the state. “The party will fight the elections alone,” he added.
