I am not going to Rajya Sabha: Kejriwal quashes speculation after AAP's bypoll wins

Former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said he would not go to the Rajya Sabha, after the party's sitting Upper House member Sanjeev Arora won the Ludhiana West bypolls in Punjab.

At a press conference, Kejriwal was asked whom the party will nominate in Arora's place.

Opposition parties have claimed that party supremo Kejriwal would enter the Upper House in Arora's place.
