New Delhi: In a significant political development ahead of the Rajya Sabha polls, Samajwadi Party chief, Akhilesh Yadav has fielded Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) national president Jayant Chaudhary as the candidate for Rajya Sabha.

Reportedly, 43-year-old leader ‘will be the joint candidate for Rajya Sabha from Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal,’ Samajwadi Party said on Thursday morning.
