 "Yogi Aditiyanath")
Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath and four of his council of minister colleagues today filed their nominations for the Vidhan Parishad (Upper House) membership.
Today was the last day for the filing of nomination for the legislative council poll to fill five vacant seats. Since the opposition is unlikely to contest, Yogi and four others ministers are slated to be elected unopposed.
Yogi apart, others who filed their nominations included deputy CMs Dinesh Sharma and Keshav Prasad Maurya, apart from two ministers Swatantra Dev Singh and Mohsin Raza. None of these leaders are still members of the state legislature.
