The list included the names of all candidates, including 202 of NDA, 34 of Mahagathbandhan, along with lawmakers from AIMIM, Indian Inclusive Party and Bahujan Samaj Party.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission of India has lifted the model code of conduct from Bihar, six states and one union territory following the conduct of Assembly polls and by-elections. The Election Commission wrote a letter to the Cabinet Secretary, Government of India, and the Chief Secretaries of the respective states to inform them about the development.

Assembly by-elections were held for eight seats spread over six states – Rajasthan, Telangana, Odisha, Punjab, Jharkhand, and Mizoram–and the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, on November 11.
