Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) leader and former Union Minister Upendra Kushwaha has been nominated to Rajya Sabha by NDA from Bihar. He had lost the Lok Sabha election from Karakat. Kushwaha has been a member of both houses of Parliament, the Legislative Assembly, and the Legislative Council before this.
Confirming his nomination, Bihar Dy CM Samrat Chaudhary said, "Upendra Kushwaha is a senior leader. When the notification of the Rajya Sabha by-election is issued, he will be sent to the Upper House. All the constituent parties of the NDA have agreed to his nomination."
Expressing his gratitude to PM Modi, Kushwaha emphasized the importance of working together to ensure NDA's victory in the Bihar polls scheduled next year. “I would like to thank all the allies, especially Prime Minister Narendra Modi. We should all work together to ensure NDA's victory in next year's elections,” Kushwaha said.
Two seats of Rajya Sabha fell vacant in Bihar after RJD's Misa Bharti and BJP's Vivek Thakur resigned from their seats following their victory in the Lok Sabha polls from Patliputra and Nawada, respectively.
