Kante Sayanna has contested more than 50 elections so far. His electoral experience includes five Lok Sabha elections and eight Assembly elections. After repeatedly testing his fortunes in the electoral arena, Sayanna is now preparing to seek entry to the Rajya Sabha from Madhya Pradesh.

The BJP has fielded Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri as its candidate for the bypoll. In this backdrop, Sayanna’s decision to collect the nomination form has brought an additional point of interest to the election process.

On one side is Hardeep Singh Puri, a senior BJP leader and minister in the Union government. On the other side is Kante Sayanna from Telangana, who has come forward with his claim after contesting a large number of elections.

Sayanna’s arrival in Bhopal and his collection of the nomination form indicate that he is preparing to take his candidature forward in the Rajya Sabha bypoll. His long record of contesting elections has also become a talking point in connection with the contest.

The nomination process will now decide how far Sayanna is able to take his claim. It will also determine how interesting the contest for the Madhya Pradesh Rajya Sabha seat becomes.
