Seven candidates of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) submitted their nomination papers on Wednesday in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.  

 

Former Union Minister R P N Singh, former MP Chaudhary Tejveer Singh, state party general secretary Amarpal Maurya, former state minister Sangeeta Balwant, party spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi, former MLA Sadhna Singh, and former Agra mayor Naveen Jain are among those who filed their nominations. 

 

Besides the chief minister, BJP state president Bhupendra Singh Chaudhary, Deputy Chief Ministers Keshav Prasad Maurya and Brajesh Pathak, and BJP UP Lok Sabha in-charge Baijyant Panda were also present on the occasion.  

 

Earlier today, the saffron party anointed Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and L Murugan their Rajya Sabha candidates from Odisha and Madhya Pradesh respectively.

 

If elected, which is nearly considered a certainty, it will be the second Rajya Sabha term for the two leaders from these states.
