Rajya Sabha Polls: Congress Rewards Loyalists, BJP Experiments

The Congress leadership has come under criticism after it left out prominent leaders, including party spokesperson Pawan Khera, while selecting candidates for Rajya Sabha. The Congress has fielded Rajeev Shukla from Chhattisgarh, Ajay Maken from Haryana, Jairam Ramesh from Karnataka, P Chidambaram from Tamil Nadu, among others. Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal have been named for Rajya Sabha by the BJP, which is facing some turbulence over its list of 18 candidates for the elections to be held on June 10. Polling will be held for 57 seats spread across 15 states.
