NEW DELHI: BJP on Wednesday released another list of five candidates for upcoming Rajya Sabha polls, fielding Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw from Odisha and L Muruan from Madhya Pradesh.
From Madhya Pradesh, BJP has named three more candidates besides Murugan, the MoS in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, for the five vacancies from the state. These include Umesh Nath Maharaj, Maya Maroliya and Bansilal Gurjar.
Both Vaisnaw and Murugan will be serving their second term in the upper house if elected.
Railway minister Vaishnaw is likely to get elected with the support of the state’s ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD), as was the case during the former IAS officer’s election for the first term in 2019.
On Sunday, BJP had named 14 candidates for the Rajya Sabha polls, including former Union minister R P N Singh and Sudhanshu Trivedi – the only outgoing MP renominated by the party so far.
It later named two more candidates from Rajasthan, dropping outgoing MP and Union minister Bhupender Yadav, who is likely to fight the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
