The CPI(ML-Liberation), which has retained two-time sitting MLA Vinod Kumar Singh from Bagodar in its first list of 24 candidates for the ensuing Assembly elections, today said it will appeal to voters to make it a strong opposition party.

"The CPI(ML-Liberation) has been raising issues like corruption and non-development in the Assembly, playing its role as opposition for a long time.

"We will appeal to the electorate to strengthen us as a key opposition party to continue to raise their demands and issues," Singh said.

Singh, who was elected from Bagodar in the 2005 elections after his three-time MLA father Mahendra Prasad Singh was gunned down by suspected Maoists that year, retained the seat in 2009.
 

The 24 party nominees were announced by party's national general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya here yesterday.

"The party may announce ten more seats. We will support Left candidates and independent nominees in those seats where the party will not field candidates," said Singh, who has been the lone party MLA in the Jharkhand Assembly for the past ten years.
