Madhya Pradesh Congress president Jitu Patwari said on Monday that the party’s State unit had requested party leader Sonia Gandhi to go to the Rajya Sabha from the State.
Speaking to reporters at the MPCC headquarters in Bhopal, Mr. Patwari said the State unit, in a letter on Sunday, had appealed to Ms. Gandhi that if she chooses to go to the Rajya Sabha, she should represent Madhya Pradesh.
“Entire PCC and all our MLAs have expressed this wish. If a person who has sacrificed the post of Prime Minister goes to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh, it will be an honour for us,” he said, adding that various other State units of the Congress had also made the same appeal.
