Union Minister of State and BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu was elected unopposed as a member of the Rajya Sabha from Rajasthan after the deadline for withdrawal of nominations ended today. Three candidates had filed nominations for the Rajya Sabha polls, one of whom was a BJP dummy candidate. The last date for withdrawal of nomination for the Rajya Sabha by-election was today. The election was held after Congress’s KC Venugopal resigned as RS MP when he was elected in the Lok Sabha polls.
