MUMBAI: Prakash Ambedkar, grandson of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and the leader of the Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi (VBA), on Friday released a list of 37 Lok Sabha candidates, who will contest the forthcoming polls under his new political front.
Ambedkar has already declared that VBA will contest from all 48 seats in the state in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls. This decision was taken after VBA, which is an alliance of Prakash’s Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh, Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen and Janata Dal (S) in Maharashtra, failed to forge an alliance with Congress.
