Union Minister Piyush Goyal, who is among the Ministers in the Modi government that are being speculated for contesting upcoming general elections, said he is ready to take the electoral plunge, but it is for the party to decide on the issue.
Mr. Goyal, who holds the Commerce and Industry, Textiles, and Food and Consumer Affairs Ministries, is a Rajya Sabha member from Maharashtra. He is a three-time member of the Upper House. He is the son of former BJP treasurer Ved Prakash Goyal and if nominated, this will be his first Lok Sabha contest.
