2018 Rajya Sabha elections - Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Nominates Sanjay Singh, N.D. Gupta, Sushil Gupta Wednesday Jan 03,2018

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday Jan 03,2018 nominated members for three Rajya Sabha seats, making them the first non-Bharatiya Janata Party, non-Congress members to be nominated to the upper house from the national capital.

AAP has nominated senior leader Sanjay Singh, chartered accountant N.D. Gupta and businessman Sushil Gupta. The decision was taken by the party’s political affairs committee, its highest decision-making body.

The announcement has once again revived talk of a rift in the party with a war of words breaking out between founding member Kumar Vishwas and senior leaders.
The decision comes after the party initially decided to reach out to eminent members from different fields but later settled for a mix from within the party and outside.
