The BJP has fielded former joint director of the Enforcement Directorate Rajeshwar Singh from the Sarojini Nagar constituency in Lucknow a day after he took voluntary retirement from services to enter politics with the saffron party.
Mr. Singh, who still had 11 years of service left, had applied for VRS (voluntary retirement service), which got accepted. he said on Monday. He served for a decade in the UP police and another 14 years in the ED. “Boots hang up,” he wrote in a note on Monday announcing his decision to enter politics.
