Patna: Bankipur assembly seat in Patna will witness a very fierce battle in the upcoming elections. While two women candidates are going to challenge BJP's leader Nitin Naveen.

Former BJP leader and member of National Commission for Women, Sushma Sahu Sushma filed nomination from Bankipur as an independent candidate. The two women candidates will take on BJP's sitting MLA Nitin Navin. Luv Sinha, son of Shatrughan Sinha will also fight the elections from Bankipur on the Congress ticket from this seat.

Pushpam Priya Chaudhary, who entered politics through advertisements in newspapers and called herself the future Chief Minister of Bihar, is ready to contest from Bankipur and has filed her nomination on Thursday. Pushpam Priya Chaudhary, much-discussed topic in social media, has never appeared in public.

Manish Barriarr, filed his nomination from Bankipur assembly seat, an alumnus of the prestigious Oxford University has thrown his hat in ring of Bankipur Assembly Seat.

Though Barriarr considers himself to be a late entrant in politics, he is clear about his lofty goals. He feels it is payback time for him and wants his native state to benefit from his international expertise in the field of education and organisational leadership.

"My priorities will be to improve education, work on industrialisation as they go hand-in-hand to generate more employment opportunities. Town planning is another area I want to focus on. Patna is a strange state capital, as it has no sense of town planning," he says.

Sushma Sahu, who was a member of the BJP Leader and National Commission for Women, is considered a very fast-paced female leader. She has also been the President of Bihar Pradesh Mahila Morcha. When Narendra Modi's government was formed at the centre, she was made a member of the National Commission for Women. After that, he has now filed his nomination as an independent candidate to contest from Bankipur constituency. Sushma Sahu coming from the Vaishya community can only dominate the BJP leader.
