Three Rajasthan Rajya Sabha Candidates Likely Elected Unopposed After Nomination DeadlinePreviousNext

Three candidates—two from the BJP, Satish Poonia and Alka Gurjar, and one from Congress, Neeraj Dangi—have filed nominations for the three Rajya Sabha seats from Rajasthan. With no other nominations received by the deadline, all are expected to be elected unopposed. The seats are vacant due to the completion of terms of current members, and certificates will be awarded after the withdrawal period ends on June 11.
