Elections were held on Tuesday for 11 executive members, including the post of Secretary (Administration) of the Constitution Club in New Delhi. It is a platform of former and current MPs. During this time, Home Minister Amit Shah, Health Minister JP Nadda, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Senior Leader Sonia Gandhi cast their votes in the election.
The election is also quite interesting because two big leaders of BJP are face to face for the post. The current Secretary (Administration) Rajiv Pratap Rudy holds the post for 25 years. He is a five -time Lok Sabha MP.
This time, former minister and BJP’s face in western Uttar Pradesh, Sanjeev Balyan has challenged. Balyan has been a Lok Sabha MP twice. The election results are expected to come by late night.
More than 1200 voters, only 690 votes cast Officials said 690 out of a total of 1295 existing and former MPs cast their votes. It is one of the highest voting ever in the election of club officials. The Lok Sabha Speaker is the ex -officio president of the club, but plays a very important role in the executive functioning of the Secretary Club.
Rudy has appealed to vote by citing adding several new facilities to the club during his tenure. At the same time, Balyan is talking about change. He says that the club should focus only on MPs and former MPs, not outsiders like IAS and PCS.
