Sinha’s decision follows BJP MP Gautam Gambhir’s earlier request to JP Nadda, seeking relief from political duties to concentrate on upcoming cricket commitments. Gambhir expressed his gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for the opportunity to serve the people.

The BJP is expected to release its initial list of Lok Sabha election candidates soon, following a prolonged meeting of the party’s central election committee chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The committee discussed around 50 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh, with indications that high-profile names, including PM Modi, may seek another term. Party sources suggest that the list may include candidates for approximately half of the discussed seats, with allied parties Apna Dal (Sone Lal Patel), Rashtriya Lok Dal led by Jayant Chaudhary, SPBSP led by Om Prakash Rajbhar, and Sanjay Nishad’s party also expected to feature.
