New Delhi: BSP has finished the Lok Sabha candidate selection process for the seven seats of the national capital with announcement of its nominee for West Delhi.
Deepak Bhardwaj will contest from West Delhi, the party said which has already announced the candidates for other six seats earlier.
This time, the party has fielded three Muslim candidates, keeping in mind the minority vote-bank.
Asif Khan, a neurologist at a leading private hospital, is the party's candidate from East Delhi while Haji Mustaqeem and Haji Dilshad will contest from Chandni Chowk and Northeast Delhi seats, respectively.
While Mustaqueem will be contesting for the first time, Haji had lost the 2008 assembly polls from Mustafabad by a narrow margin.
The BSP has also fielded two Brahmins, a Gurjar and a Scheduled Caste candidate. "This is what our Sarva Jan Hitaya policy says," BSP Delhi chief Brahm Singh Bidhuri said.
