Thursday was the last day to file nominations for the March 16 Rajya Sabha polls.

Singhvi, one of the key legal experts of the Congress, who had earlier chaired parliamentary panels on home, law and commerce, has been nominated from Telangana.

Netam, a top-ranking Congress leader from Chhattisgarh, survived a major Maoist attack in 2013 in which over 20 party leaders were killed.

In line with senior party leader Rahul Gandhi's emphasis on empowering district unit leaders, the Congress has fielded Kangra district unit president Anurag Sharma for the lone Rajya Sabha seat from Himachal Pradesh.
