Samajwadi Party candidates for Rajya Sabha, including Amar Singh, Beni Prasad Verma and realtor Sanjay Seth, filed their nomination papers today for the biennial elections slated for next month.

Other SP candidates who filed nomination are former Legislative Council Chairman Sukhram Singh Yadav, Reoti Raman Singh and Vishwambhar Prasad Nishad.
Among those who filed their nomination papers for SP, Seth is a ‘controversial’ builder from Lucknow. His name was earlier sent by the party to Raj Bhawan for nomination as an MLC, but it was not approved by Governor Ram Naik.
Thakur Amar Singh was in political wilderness for six years following his expulsion from SP, Beni recently returned to the party fold after quitting Congress.
Amar Singh was accompanied by his wife and two daughters while filing his nomination. Senior party leaders Shivpal Yadav and Ram Gopal Yadav were also present.
Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav, who was in Bhadohi on an official visit, and SP supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav were conspicuous by their absence.
The support of 37 MLAs is needed for a candidate’s entry into Rajya Sabha.
As per the existing strength of different parties in the 403-member state Assembly, SP with 229 MLAs would be able to get six nominees elected to Rajya Sabha, BSP two and BJP one.
Currently, BSP has six of these seats and SP three.
Eight SP candidates for the UP Legislative Council —
Balram Yadav,
Shatrudra Prakash,
Yashwant Singh,
Bukkal Nawab,

The tenure of six RS members from Tamil Nadu will end on June 29.
AIADMK’s Navaneethakrishnan,
A W Rabi Bernard
P H Paul Manoj Pandian
DMK’s K P Ramalingam
S Thangavelu and
former Union Minister and Congress leader Sudarsana Natchiappan
are those who will be retiring next month.

Piyush Goyal[PowerMinister]Files Nomination For Upper House
[Mumbai]Piyush Goyal[PowerMinister]Files Nomination For RS Election
BJP Nominates Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal from Maha for RS ElectionHe Has earned Good Name+ Fame In Govt’s Ambitious Scheme DDUGJY
The BJP has nominated Union Power Minister Piyush Goyal as its candidate from Maharashtra for the Rajya Sabha election slated on June 11.
Goyal filed his nomination for the RS polls at Vidhan Bhavan last evening.
The Shiv Sena had last week nominated Sanjay Raut as the party nominee for polls to the Upper House of Parliament.
In Maharashtra, six RS seats are up for grabs.
Besides Raut, the other retiring Rajya Sabha MPs from Maharashtra are
Ishwarlal Jain and
Praful Patel (NCP),
Vijay Darda and
Avinash Pande (Congress), and
Union Minister Piyush Goyal (BJP).
The biennial elections to 57 seats in Rajya Sabha are necessitated as 55 members from 15 states are retiring between June and August.
The BJP and Shiv Sena have a chance to wrest at least one seat each from Congress and NCP given their present strength in the Legislative Assembly.
The number of votes required to win election by a candidate is pegged at 42.
However, considering their strength in the state Assembly, it seems unlikely that Congress or NCP will field more than one candidate.
The combined strength of
Sena (63) and
BJP (122) in the House is 185.
The strength of Congress and NCP is 42 and 41, respectively.
The Rajya Sabha polls are held through open ballot wherein the members of the Legislative Assembly (excluding nominated MLA) have to display the preference of voting to the party whip.
