Jamshedpur: Three claimants to the party ticket for the Lok Sabha elections have come to the fore in East Singhbhum committee of Samajwadi Party even as party officials avoided making announcement on the candidate in a hurry.

�We have demanded that the name of party candidate be announced as soon as possible. Senior leader Manohar Yadav was also informed about the names. The final decision in this regard is likely to be made in a day or two,� said the state president.
Today�s marathon meeting was held for over three hours during which various election issues were discussed in detail by the members. Suggestions were also sought for ensuring victory of party candidates in the Lok Sabha polls.
