Senior politician Abhishek Manu Singhvi is set to contest the Rajya Sabha bypolls from Telangana. The Congress leader had exited the Upper House of Parliament earlier this year after failing to win the polls from Himachal Pradesh.
“Congress President Malliarjun Kharge has approved the candidature of Abhishek Manu Singhvi as Congress candidate to contest the ensuing bye-elections to the Council of States from Telangana,” read an official communique from the party on Wednesday afternoon.
