Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi on Wednesday elected to the Rajya Sabha in the bypolls to fill the seat which fell vacant following death of former Union minister Arun Jaitley.
Trivedi was elected unopposed and was handed over the certificate after the expiry of the time of withdrawal at the vidhan sabha today.
Trivedi had filed his nomination on Friday in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma and other senior leaders of the party.
He was a part of the four-member committee which was responsible for the party's campaign during 2014 Lok Sabha polls.
