Three BJP candidates — External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, former legislator Babu Desai and Kshatriya face Kesridevsinh Zala — were on Monday elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat.
The ruling party won all the three seats since the main opposition Congress did not field any candidate owing to lack of numbers in the Assembly.
For Mr. Jaishankar, this is his second term for the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat while the saffron party has fielded two new faces: Mr. Desai and Mr. Zala in place of outgoing members Jugal Thakor and Dinesh Anavadiya.
