\nTwo other candidates are Ghulam Mohammed Mir and Rakesh Mahajan.
\nThe Election Commission has issued three separate notifications for the elections to four seats.
\nThe National Conference-Congress combine has an edge in three seats while the BJP has in one, going by their strength in the assembly.
\nThe BJP\u2019s decision to force a contest will spice up the polling, as it is expected to spearhead an intensive exercise to woo MLAs from other parties to shore up support for its candidates.
\nThe ruling National Conference in Jammu and Kashmir had on Friday announced the names of its three candidates for the Rajya Sabha polls to be held on October 24, and said discussions were on with the Congress for the fourth seat.<\/p>\n
