Raja RPN Singh nominated by BJP from UP for Rajya Sabha Elections
Reportedly the name of raja RPN Singh from the Padrauna royal family is also included among those who have been nominated by bjp from UP for the rajya sabha elections. RPN Singh had joined bjp before the 2022 assembly elections. Since then, there was talk of adjustment somewhere in the government, but after 2 years, RPN Singh has been made the rajya sabha candidate.
Meanwhile from the sitting mp to many senior bjp leaders, RPN Singh has been sent to rajya sabha and heaved a sigh of relief. Ever since RPN Singh joined bjp, there was talk that he could be made to contest from Kushinagar in the 2024 lok sabha elections. If this had happened, the ticket of sitting mp Vijay Dubey would have been cut, due to which he was very upset. At the same time, from former mp Rajesh Pandey to Brahmin leaders from adjacent seats, they are also lobbying to contest elections from here. They have also got a cooldown due to RPN Singh's move out of the way. According to the current situation, there are Brahmin MPs from Kushinagar and the adjacent lok sabha seat Deoria. After RPN Singh joining bjp, discussions were going on about RPN Singh contesting the lok sabha elections from Kushinagar, while Ramapati ram Tripathi, being 73 years old, is contesting the current 2024 lok sabha elections in view of the age requirement of 75 years. There were discussions within the party that his ticket might be cut.
Moreover in this episode, different Brahmin leaders of these two seats were trying to fit their respective triumvirate. Rajesh Pandey, who was the mp from here in 2014, had his ticket canceled in 2019, after which Vijay Dubey contested and won this seat. According to the political environment in Uttar Pradesh, this time, manipulation of tickets of people is expected on a large scale. After sending RPN Singh to rajya sabha, now the leaders who wanted to contest elections from Kushinagar are happy.
