CPI (ML) fields Ravindra Bhuiyan in Palamu by-poll

Ranchi, Mar 7 (UNI) The CPI (ML) will field Mr Ravindra Bhuiyan in the Palamu Parliamentary seat by-election slated for March 29.

Party state General Secretary Mr Subhendu Sen informed reporters today that Mr Bhuiyan would file his nomination on March 9.

The CPI (ML) leader said the UPA and NDA were ''divided forces'' following inner party squabble ''which would be advantageous'' to their party nominee.

The last date for filing nomination was fixed on March 10, scrutiny will take place on March 12 and the last date of withdrawal is March 13. The result would be declared on April one.

The by-election was necessitated after Mr Manoj Bhuiyan(RJD) had to lose the Lok Sabha seat following a money-query scam.
