Ashwini Vaishnaw Renominated From Odisha As BJP's Rajya Sabha Candidate

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

The BJP on Wednesday named Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw and L Murugan their Rajya Sabha candidates from Odisha and Madhya Pradesh respectively.

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

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.
