Former BJP corporator in Pune, Medha Kulkarni, is set to join Rajya Sabha after obtaining a ‘no dues certificate’. Speculations are rife about her name being considered for a seat, as the BJP state unit has submitted a shortlist of 9 names. Kulkarni’s application for the certificate indicates her interest in filing a nomination form for the upcoming polls. With the BJP planning to field an extra candidate and the recent emphasis on women’s representation, Kulkarni’s chances look promising.
In an interesting turn of events, Medha Kulkarni, a former BJP corporator in Pune, has obtained a ‘no dues certificate’ from the Pune Municipal Corporation. This has led to speculations about her name being considered for a Rajya Sabha seat.
The BJP state unit has reportedly submitted a shortlist of 9 names to the party’s high command for consideration in the upcoming Rajya Sabha polls. The party is said to be confident of winning four seats in the elections.
Kulkarni’s application for the ‘no dues certificate’ is seen as an indication of her intention to file a nomination form for the polls. It is worth noting that the BJP is planning to field an extra candidate in the Rajya Sabha poll due to potential political shifts within other factions.
Sources suggest that the BJP is expected to announce its candidates for the Rajya Sabha in the next two days. If Kulkarni’s name does make it to the list, it would mark a significant comeback for her in mainstream politics. She has been sidelined for the last five years due to Chandrakant Patil’s nomination from Kothrud.
Kulkarni is seen as a Brahmin face of the BJP, and her chances of being considered for the Rajya Sabha polls may have received a boost from the recent RSS meeting in Pune. The meeting emphasized the importance of giving maximum representation to women, which could work in Kulkarni’s favor.
As we eagerly await the BJP’s announcement, it remains to be seen whether Kulkarni’s name will indeed be chosen for the Rajya Sabha polls. Keep an eye on the news for further updates on this intriguing development.
