Bharatiya Janata Party national president J.P. Nadda resigned as a Rajya Sabha MP from Himachal Pradesh on Monday after he was elected to the upper house from Gujarat last month.
“Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, an elected member of the Council of States (Rajya Sabha), representing the State of Himachal Pradesh, resigned his seat in the Rajya Sabha and his resignation has been accepted by the Chairman, Rajya Sabha w.e.f 4th March, 2024,” says a Rajya Sabha parliamentary bulletin.
Nadda’s tenure as Himachal MP was to end in April.
He was elected to Rajya Sabha unopposed from Gujarat last month. Other BJP nominees Jasvantsinh Parmar, Mayank Nayak and diamond baron Govindbhai Dholakia were also declared winners from Gujarat.
The BJP fielded Nadda from Gujarat as the party did not have the numbers to win the lone seat from the Congress-ruled hill state.
