Historic Election: Harivansh Becomes Deputy Chairman

Harivansh has been elected unopposed as Deputy Chairman of Rajya Sabha for the third time. A nominated member, he's the first to hold this designation. His election was initiated by J P Nadda and was recognized by prominent leaders like Modi and Kharge.

In a historic move, Harivansh has been elected Deputy Chairman of the Rajya Sabha once again, marking his third consecutive term. The unopposed election is notable as Harivansh is the first nominated member to achieve this position.

The seat became vacant when his previous term concluded on April 9, prompting Union Minister J P Nadda to lead the initiative for his re-election. Harivansh, a journalist-turned-politician, continues to enjoy notable support.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Leader of Opposition Mallikarjun Kharge were among the leaders who expressed their congratulations following the successful election, highlighting the significance of this achievement within the political landscape.
