Yesterday, the Rashtrapati Bhavan has approved a list of six members for Rajya Sabha on behalf of BJP. The list provided by BJP consisted of noted celebrities from various fields. Watch out...

Subramanian Swamy- This 76 year old lawyer is known for his relentless fight against the Nehru family. He has led cases such as 2G scam and National Herald scam which of course irked the Gandhi’s. This Jan Sangh leader is presently associated with BJP and might even end up filling a cabinet berth.

Swapan Dasgupta- Though a senior journalist, Swapan Dasgupta is often known to write columns in favour of right wing. Being a knowledgeable person and commentator, Swapan could well defend the BJP on the field of Rajya Sabha.

Navjot Singh Sidhu- This cricketer turned commentator turned politician has been a big fish for BJP in Punjab. With his wit and wisdom Sidhu is quite famous in Punjab. But Sidhu has been feeling quite rebellious after being denied a ticket from Amritsar. The present nomination might of course appease him.

Narendra Jadhav- This 63 year old economist with a PhD degree from an US university is much closer to congress than BJP. But BJP is thought to have chosen him for being a prominent personality from the dalit community. He is even known for his proximity to Modi.

Suresh Gopinath- Popularly known as Suresh Gopi and recognised for his roles as a cop in Malayalam movies, he is already a star campaigner for BJP in Kerala. His inclusion into Rajya Sabha might boost the morale of BJP cadre in Kerala which is already colourful with cricketer Sreesanth on its roll.

Mary Kom- Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom called as Mary Kom in short is certainly a surprising nominee for the Upper House. Though the government has considered her for her boxing victories which included a bronze in previous Olympics, certain other factors too have favoured her selection. Mary Kom is from the north eastern part of India which has often felt to have been neglected by the mainstream. Her belonging to the Christian community might have also helped her being picked by the government to add the spice of social justice to its list.
