The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced Dinesh Arya as its nominee for the Rajya Sabha elections in Uttarakhand, marking the party's selection for the upper house contests slated for mid-October.
Elections to fill 12 Rajya Sabha seats will be conducted across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and West Bengal on October 16. The simultaneous polling across the three states will determine representation in India's upper house of parliament for the coming term.
