On Monday evening, the AAP candidates got ‘Certificate of Election’ confirming their election to the Upper House. The election to the three Rajya Sabha seats from Delhi was necessitated as the tenure of the Congress members now holding the membership is set to expire later this month. The nomition of the AAP candidates was marred by controversy after party leader Kumar Vishwas publicly expressed disappointment that he was not picked for a Rajya Sabha seat and opposed the nomition of businessman Sushil Gupta.There was universal acceptance of Sanjay Singh’s nomition and there was no major objection to N.D. Gupta.Informed sources told IANS that after N.D. Gupta’s candidature was approved, the two covering candidates of the AAP withdrew their nomition, making the three the only ones in the race.
