BJP MP Jayant Sinha, whose father Yashwant Sinha is the joint opposition candidate for the July 18 presidential election, on Tuesday said he would discharge his constitutional responsibilities as a BJP member and asked people to treat him as “son”. Not urged to watch and make. Contest a “family issue”. In a message posted in Hindi on Twitter, the MP from Jharkhand’s Hazaribagh said that he has been receiving calls from many people and the media is also being questioned. He said, “I would request all of you not to see me as a son and make it a family issue. I am a BJP worker and MP from Hazaribagh. I fully understand and will discharge my constitutional responsibilities.”
All elected MPs and MLAs are members of the electoral college for the presidential election. Yashwant Sinha (84) was a senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and was given key responsibilities in the party before being sidelined. He left the saffron party in 2018.
Jayant Sinha, who was not in politics at the time, was fielded by the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections from Hazaribagh, where his father represented at that time. He was also made a Union Minister. Although Jayant Sinha was re-elected as an MP in 2019, he was not made a minister.
