Ranchi: BJP-backed Independent Rajya Sabha candidate Parimal Nathwani’s meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi has triggered fresh political speculation in Jharkhand ahead of the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. While the meeting has officially been described as a courtesy call, its timing—just days before the crucial election—has drawn considerable attention from political observers.
The meeting took place at the Prime Minister’s residence in New Delhi and was also attended by Nathwani’s son, Dhanraj Nathwani. Although no official details about the agenda have been disclosed, the interaction is being viewed as politically significant given the ongoing Rajya Sabha election campaign.
According to sources, Nathwani met the Prime Minister as part of a routine courtesy visit. However, with political parties actively engaged in election planning and support-building efforts, such high-level meetings are naturally attracting scrutiny. Analysts believe discussions may have touched upon a range of issues, though neither side has released a detailed statement.
Political activity in Jharkhand has intensified as parties and candidates gear up for the Rajya Sabha elections scheduled for June 18. Nathwani, who is contesting as a BJP-supported Independent candidate, has been actively involved in election-related outreach and preparations. Political experts note that interactions with top party leadership often carry strategic importance during election season, adding to the significance of the meeting.
Nathwani Likely to Reach Ranchi on June 16
Sources indicate that Parimal Nathwani is expected to arrive in Ranchi on June 16 and remain in the state for two days. During his visit, he is likely to hold meetings with supporters and review election-related preparations. The visit is expected to help finalize his poll management strategy ahead of voting day.
Rajya Sabha elections in Jharkhand have traditionally been closely watched due to the state’s complex political equations. With polling just days away, the pace of political engagements and behind-the-scenes consultations is expected to intensify further.
