The Bharatiya Janata Party on Wednesday launched its checklist candidates for the upcoming biennial Vidhan Parishad elections in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Bihar on June 20. Out of the 16 names that had been introduced, 9 had been for UP, 5 for Maharashtra and 4 for Bihar.
In line with expectations that the BJP will subject key ministers in UP, together with Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya, from Yogi’s cupboard in order that they proceed with duties of their present positions, as many as seven of them function within the BJP’s checklist of 9 names introduced for the UP MLC elections.
The others who had been named had been Panchayati Raj Minister Chaudhary Bhupendra Singh, Cooperation Minister JPS Rathore, Minister of State for Backward Classes Welfare Narendra Kashyap, Minister of State for AYUSH (Independent Charge) Dayashankar Mishra Dayalu, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs and Industrial Development Jaswant Saini and Minister of State for Minority Welfare Danish Azad Ansari. While Maurya and Bhupendra Singh’s tenure as MLC members are getting over on July 6, the remaining aren’t a part of any Houses within the state Assembly.
