The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday nominated external affairs minister S Jaishankar as its Rajya Sabha candidate for another term from Gujarat for the upcoming elections to the Upper House.

Jaishankar files papers for second term in RS

A total of 11 Rajya Sabha seats are to be filled in this round, including one that fell vacant due to the resignation of Trinamool Congress Party's (TMC) Luizinho Faleiro. Though Rajya Sabha MPs serve for six years, the lawmaker to succeed Faleiro will serve a truncated three-year term. Based on how the numbers stand, the TMC is likely to win six seats in West Bengal, while the BJP is likely to win three in Gujarat, one in Bengal, and one in Goa. No other party appears to have the requisite numbers to secure an Upper House berth.

The last date for filing nominations is July 13, and the deadline for the withdrawal of nominations is July 17. Polling, if required, will be held on July 24.
