NEW DELHI: BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy emerged victorious over party colleague and former Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan in the high-stakes election for Secretary (Administration) of the Constitution Club of India (CCI). The contest, which saw intense campaigning and surprising political alignments, concluded with Rudy securing the post by a margin of 102 votes.
A total of 707 votes were polled, with approximately 679 votes cast and 38 ballots registered, representing nearly 60 per cent of the electorate, reportedly the highest voter turnout ever for CCI polls. Speaking after the win, Rudy said, “No, I think many facts are not correct, which have been said. I will give my comment on that later. But in the present, it is true that a big victory has been achieved by our team.”
The face-off between two prominent BJP leaders drew attention not only because of the intra-party rivalry but also due to the spirited campaign. Rudy, a five-time MP, commercial pilot, and former Union Minister, has served as the Club’s Secretary (Administration) for over two decades.
