New Delhi, Oct 4 (IANS): The BJP on Monday announced its candidates for three Assembly seats, where bypolls will be held on October 30 along with 27 constituencies in other states.

The party announced the names of Subhash Pirajirao Savane from Deglur (SC) Assembly constituency of Maharashtra and K. Ladinthara from Tuirial (ST) Assembly seat in Mizoram.

In June, Rajender joined the BJP after resigning from the TRS. In May, he was dropped from the Telangana cabinet over allegations of land grabbing in Medak district. He had said that he was unfairly targeted.

On September 28, the Election Commission of India (ECI) announced the poll schedule to fill vacancies in three Parliamentary Constituencies in Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.
