RAIPUR: Congress candidates Rajeev Shukla and Ranjeeta Ranjan have been elected unopposed to Rajya Sabha from Chhattisgarh.
Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha secretary Dinesh Sharma, who is the returning officer for the biennial elections, announced their election to the upper house on the last date for withdrawal of nomination papers. During scrutiny, nomination papers of regional party Janata Congress Chhattisgarh (J) Dr Haridas Bharadwaj were rejected on the ground that his documents did not fulfil the mandatory criteria of nine proposers. Dr Bharadwaj is a former minister.
