Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party on Monday released the second list of 66 party candidates for the two-phase Bihar elections on November 6 and 11.
Political strategist-turned-politician Kishor was present among other party leaders while releasing the list. The party had released its first of 51 candidates on October 9.
The list did not include the Raghopur seat, from where sitting MLA Tejashwi Yadav aims for a hat-trick.
There are wide expectations that Prashant Kishor may make his political debut from Raghopur, directly challenging Tejashwi.
Kishor, a former poll strategist, has been dropping hints that he might contest the seat himself.
The second list was expected to end the suspense over whether Kishor would make his poll debut from Tejashwi's home turf Raghopur.
Prominent names in the first list included former IPS officer of Bihar cadre, R K Mishra from Darbhanga, prominent lawyer and party's senior leader Y V Giri from Manjhi seat, former Patna University and Nalanda Open University Vice Chancellor K C Sinha from Kumhrar, and popular Bhojpuri singer Ritesh Ranjan Pandey from Kargahar.
Kishor had hit the campaign trail from Raghopur on October 11, the home turf of Yadav, whom he vowed to trounce like "Rahul Gandhi's defeat from Amethi".
The 47-year-old politician had received a rousing welcome, with garlands placed around his neck to the tunes of drums beaten by enthusiastic supporters, in the assembly constituency in Vaishali district, about 50 km from the state capital and situated right across the Ganga.
