Yogi Adityanath to file Vidhan Parishad nomination today
Tomorrow is the last day of filing nominations for four Vidhan Parishad seats.
Deputy CMs Dinesh Sharma and Keshav Prasad Maurya also filed their nominations
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and four of his council of minister colleagues today filed their nominations for the Vidhan Parishad (Upper House) membership.
Today was the last day for the filing of nomination for the legislative council poll to fill five vacant seats. Since the opposition is unlikely to contest, Yogi and four others ministers are slated to be elected unopposed.
Taking the first step for becoming a member of the Uttar Pradesh legislature, chief minister Yogi Adityanath would file his nomination papers for the Vidhan Parishad (Upper House) poll on Tuesday.
Four of his other state council of minister colleagues would also file their respective nominations as well, including two deputy CMs Dinesh Sharma and Keshav Prasad Maurya, apart from two ministers Swatantra Dev Singh and Mohsin Raza. All of the five leaders are still not members of the state legislature.
As per statute, a member of the council of ministers, including CM, is required to get elected to either of the two houses (Vidhan Sabha or Vidhan Parishad) within six months of assuming office. Since, Yogi council of ministers had taken oath on March 19, 2017, they are required to get elected to the legislature by September 18 for continuing in their public posts.
While, Yogi and Maurya are sitting Members of Parliament from Gorakhpur and Phoolpur (Allahabad) constituencies respectively, the remaining three are not members of any house. Sharma was the Lucknow Mayor before becoming a deputy CM.
