By -

Former cricketer Harbhajan Singh, IIT Delhi associate professor Sandeep Pathak, Delhi MLA Raghav Chadha, Lovely Professional University (LPU) founder and chancellor Ashok Mittal, and industrialist Sanjeev Arora have been named as the Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) representatives in the Rajya Sabha, according to party officials.

The party nominees were led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to the Vidhan Sabha secretariat to register their nominations.

The AAP was given the opportunity to nominate five members to the Upper House after gaining 92 seats in the Punjab Assembly elections. The tenure of five MPs from Punjab have either finished or will end soon. The deadline for nominations is Monday, and the elections will take place on March 31.

Chadha, 33, will be the youngest member of the Rajya Sabha. He was the party's in-charge in Punjab and spent the majority of his time in the state over the previous several months. He was an MLA from Delhi's Rajinder Nagar. He is also the national spokesperson for the AAP.

Pathak has been a part of the AAP for a few years, but has generally stayed out of the spotlight. According to party sources, he played a key role in developing the polling strategy.

According to party sources, while the names of Harbhajan Singh, Chadha, and Pathak were finalised last week, vigorous deliberations about the remaining two names lasted until late Monday morning.

Arora is from Ludhiana, while Harbhajan Singh and Mittal are from Jalandhar. Despite the fact that the Congress approached Harbhajan before of the Punjab Vidhan Sabha elections, sources close to the former cricketer indicated he was uninterested in Assembly politics.

Five Rajya Sabha seats from Punjab will be vacant by April 9. Partap Bajwa and Shamsher Dullo of the Congress, Shwait Malik of the BJP, SAD (Sanyukt) chairman Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, and SAD's Naresh Gujral are the outgoing MPs.
