Curtains were virtually down on speculations that Prashant Kishor may contest against Tejashwi Yadav, as the Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) on Tuesday declared its candidate from Raghopur, where the RJD leader is aiming at a hat-trick.

The Jan Suraj Party has named Chanchal Singh, a local businessman, as its candidate from Raghopur assembly constituency that has been representated by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.

Singh is the vice president of the Jan Suraj Party’s youth wing. He was earlier associated with Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United).

So far, Prashant Kishore’s name has not featured in any of the party’s list of candidates.
