New Delhi [India], August 12 : Former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP and Constitution Club of India secretary candidate Sanjeev Kumar Baliyan on Tuesday said that the results of the Club elections do not matter as long as the "dignity" of the Constitution Club is upheld.
Baliyan, contesting alongside BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy, recalled that the club was established to encourage discussions above party politics. He further noted that the results of the elections do not matter and the Constitution Club's purpose will be fulfilled now.
"Whatever the results, the dignity of this constitutional club remains intact; it is a platform for MPs and former MPs. It was formed to have discussions by rising above party lines. Good discussions take place here. It is a good thing that this club is in the news again," Sanjeev Kumar Baliyan told ANI.
After casting a vote, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Shatrughan Sinha said that he had not witnessed such excitement in any other election across the party.
"It was a good experience. I haven't seen such excitement in any election so far, cutting across party lines", Sinha said.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey also hailed the enthusiasm in the Constitution Club elections, stating that he has not seen such a crowd in the past 25 years. Dubey said that the dignity of the Constitution Club is returning.
"Have you ever seen such a crowd in the Constitution Club election in the last 25 years?... The reason was that MPs had no say here... Now the dignity is returning, and there is so much enthusiasm that even senior people are coming to vote...", Nishikant Dubey said.
Earlier, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Ministers JP Nadda and Pyush Goyal also cast their vote in the elections.
Established in 1948, the Constitution Club of India aims to foster social contact and provide the usual amenities of club life for the benefit of the members of the Indian Constituent Assembly.
The Constitution Club of India is headed by the Speaker of Lok Sabha, along with the Executive Body Comprising sitting and former Members of Parliament.
