Srinagar, Jul 11 (PTI) The Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) on Wednesday said it would field candidates on all seats whenever the assembly or local bodies’ elections are held in Jammu and Kashmir.

Addressing a press conference here, RLJP national general secretary Sanjay Saraf said he has instructed the district presidents to present their list of potential candidates, which will be finalised by the party’s parliamentary board for the elections.

“Whether it is assembly elections or local bodies’ elections, the party will field its candidates everywhere,” he said.
