BJP Nominates Hardeep Singh Puri for Madhya Pradesh Rajya Sabha Bypoll
The BJP has nominated Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri as its candidate for the Rajya Sabha by-election in Madhya Pradesh, scheduled for November 12. This seat became vacant after Union Minister L Murugan resigned to focus on politics in Tamil Nadu. Puri, currently serving as Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, was not renominated from Uttar Pradesh, where his term ends in November. The party's Central Election Committee approved his candidature, ensuring his continuation in the Union Cabinet.
