Political discussion has already gained momentum regarding Pawan Singh. Even during the Bihar Assembly elections, it was discussed that BJP could field him.

It is being said that during the assembly elections, BJP had promised him that he would be sent to Rajya Sabha. Pawan Singh had campaigned in support of BJP during Bihar Assembly elections.

Not a single BJP MP on the vacant seat

There is currently no BJP MP on the five Rajya Sabha seats that are falling vacant in Bihar. Two seats are vacant for JDU, two seats for RJD and one seat for Upendra Kushwaha.
