The Congress on Saturday announced its list of nominess for the Rajya Sabha. Former Finance Minister P. Chidambaram has been nominated from Maharashtra while its veteran leaders Kapil Sibal and Jairam Ramesh were nominated Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka respectively.
Others nominees include Oscar Fernandes from Karnataka, Congress general secretary Ambika Soni from Punjab, Chaya Verma from Chhattisgarh, Vivek Tankha from Madhya Pradesh and Pradeep Tamta from Uttarakhand.
One nomination from Karnataka has been left to the party general secretary and PCC chief and CLP leader to decide.
The entry of Mr. Chidambaram and Mr. Sibal and renomination of Mr. Ramesh is expected to strengthen the party’s attack on the government in the Upper House where the NDA lacks majority.
