Mps Retiring From Rajya Sabha

As many as 54 members of the Rajya Sabha including former prime minister Manmohan Singh and nine union ministers are set to retire on Tuesday and Wednesday with some not returning to the Upper House.

The Samajwadi Party (SP) on Tuesday renominated Jaya Bachchan to the Rajya Sabha, and announced the candidature of former MP Ramjilal Suman and retired IAS officer Alok Ranjan for the polls to the Upper House of Parliament from Uttar Pradesh.

Fondly remembering the contribution of retiring members from the Rajya Sabha, Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar on Thursday said the wisdom shared by them would be greatly missed and their departure would leave a void.

In his just-published memoir, Justice Ranjan Gogoi, former Chief Justice of India, defended his decision to join the Rajya Sabha 4 months after retiring from the Supreme Court, a move that had come in for widespread criticism.

Elections for more than 70 Rajya Sabha seats will be held this year with 69 members set to retire, including 18 from the BJP and 17 from the Congress.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Leader of the Opposition Ghulam Nabi Azad made a farewell speech for 40 MPs who are retiring from the Rajya Sabha.
