Two current members of RCB have decided to contest polls as independents while maintaining ties with former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar s group.
In the absence of former senator Chaudhry Tanveer Khan, who had played a crucial role in winning the previous RCB polls for the party, former MNA Malik Ibrahim has started consultations about awarding party tickets.
