Outgoing Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Ram Shankar Katheria, who was earlier denied ticket, has been fielded to contest from his home constituency Etawah in Uttar Pradesh.

The BJP announced Katheria's name in the 10th list released on Tuesday.

The seat is presently held by BJP's Ashok Kumar Dohre, who defeated the Samajwadi Party candidate by 1.72 lakh votes in 2014.

Meanwhile, the Bahujan Samaj Party has changed its candidate in the Agra rural Fatehpur Sikri constituency. Sir Bhagwan Sharma (Guddu Pandit), former MLA from Debai, has replaced Rajvir Singh.
