New Delhi, September 10

The Congress-led Opposition at present determined to discipline RJD chief Manoj Jha as their joint candidate for the September 14 election to the Rajya Sabha Deputy Chairman’s put up.

A former academician, Jha (53) will contest in opposition to NDA’s nominee Harivansh of the JD-U. Harivansh was former RS Deputy Chairman. The expiry of his time period within the RS lately led to the emptiness of the put up.

The Opposition selected Jha after the DMK declined the provide made by the Congress to contest and a majority of non-NDA events appeared little enthused about preventing a misplaced battle. The ruling NDA has a snug majority within the RS to get Harivansh elected. — TNS
