Hardeep Singh Puri Nominated for Rajya Sabha From Madhya Pradesh, Ending Uncertainty over His Seat
The party said Puri’s nomination gives him a fresh path back to the Upper House as the seat was vacated by L Murugan.
- On Wednesday, the Bharatiya Janata Party announced Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri as its candidate for the upcoming Rajya Sabha by-election from Madhya Pradesh.
- The by-election fills a vacancy created after L Murugan resigned from the Rajya Sabha and Union Council of Ministers on October 14 to focus on politics in Tamil Nadu.
- Puri, whose current term representing Uttar Pradesh expires in November, was not renominated from that state, where the party recently elected eight members unopposed.
- The Election Commission scheduled polling for November 12, with counting for the seat—which has a term running until 2030—to take place on the evening of the same day.
- With the BJP holding power in Madhya Pradesh, the candidate is expected to secure the seat, while Murugan shifts focus toward organizational work ahead of the 2029 Lok Sabha elections.
