Seeking a consecutive third term in the Lok Sabha, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will file his nomination papers for Lucknow Lok Sabha seat on Monday. Lucknow will go to the polls along with 13 other constituencies on May 20 in the fifth of the seven-phased Lok Sabha elections. Bharatiya Janata Partys Lucknow district chief Anand Dwivedi said Rajnath Singh would proceed to file his nomination papers from the UP BJP office. He said from the state office of the BJP, Rajnath Singh would proceed on a motorised chariot to the Collectorate to file his nomination along with ministers, mayor, senior party functionaries and others, at 10 am. Before contesting his first election from Lucknow in 2014, Rajnath had won the Lok Sabha polls from Ghaziabad in 2009. At that time, late Lalji Tandon was the MP from Lucknow after former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee bowed out of electoral politics after serving as Lucknow MP for five consecutive terms.
