It may be recalled that the Election Commission of India (ECI) recently announced September 3 as the date for by-polls for 12 vacant Rajya Sabha seats across India. The by-poll for the MP seat from Telangana was necessitated following the resignation of K. Keshava Rao recently.
The Congress Working Committee (CWC) member and senior AICC spokesperson, Abhishek Manu Singhvi, recently lost the Rajya Sabha seat to the BJP’s Harsh Mahajan based on a draw of lots in Himachal Pradesh.
Abhishek Manu Singhvi Is The Congress Party’s Top Choice
However, being a key leader of the party, Singhvi remained the party’s top choice following Keshav Rao’s resignation. Keshava Rao, who returned to the Congress fold, was recently appointed as an advisor to the State government.
