By-polls announced on 6 Assembly & 1 Lok Sabha seat of Bengal on Nov 13
Baba Balaknath, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA representing Alwar, Rajasthan, has officially resigned from his Lok Sabha membership. The resignation was submitted to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla during a meeting today. Balaknath had recently secured victory in the assembly elections, winning the Tijara seat in Alwar, defeating Congress candidate Imran Khan.
Notably, his name is now prominently discussed among potential contenders for the Chief Minister position in Rajasthan. This development comes in the wake of BJP MPs who won legislative elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh collectively submitting their resignations to Om Birla the previous day.
Baba Balaknath's decision to relinquish his Lok Sabha membership aligns with the party's protocol for MPs winning state legislative elections. As the race for the Chief Minister's role gains momentum in Rajasthan, political observers are closely monitoring the discussion surrounding Balaknath's potential candidacy.
