“It is a matter of immense pride for every BJP Karyakarta that our party has got its first ever Rajya Sabha MP from Puducherry in S. Selvaganabathy,” Mr. Modi tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hailed the election of the BJP’s first Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament from Puducherry, S. Selvaganabathy.
“It is a matter of immense pride for every BJP Karyakarta that our party has got its first ever Rajya Sabha MP from Puducherry in S. Selvaganabathy. The trust placed in us by the people of Puducherry is humbling. We will keep working for Puducherry’s progress,” Mr. Modi tweeted.
Mr. Selvaganabathy was declared elected unopposed to the sole Rajya Sabha seat in the Union Territory, on Monday, after the filing of nominations closed. As the deadline for filing of nominations ended, Mr. Selvaganabathy’s nomination was the only one to be accepted with the submissions of five other Independent candidates rejected for lack of required number of proposers.
