BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi on Wednesday filed his nomination papers for by-election to a Rajya Sabha seat in Bihar which has been necessitated by the death of Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan.
Modi filed his nomination papers at the Vidhan Sabha secretariat in presence of a host of leaders of the ruling NDA, most notable being Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose deputy he had been for more than a decade, sharing an excellent rapport that has been a stuff of legend in the states political circles.
“I have come here to congratulate my former colleague. He is currently an MLC and formerly been a member of the Lok
Sabha and an MLA before that. With his election to the Rajya Sabha he will hold the distinction of having been a member of both houses of the Parliament and the state legislature”, Kumar told reporters smilingly.
