Gandhinagar: Voting began at 9 this morning in a hall in the Gujarat State Secretariat in Gandhinagar in a Rajya Sabha election that has become a huge prestige battle between the BJP and the Congress.
While BJP chief Amit Shah, who makes his debut in Parliament, and Union Minister Smriti Irani will be elected from two seats, senior Congress leader and Congress President Sonia Gandhi's Political Secretary Ahmed Patel is struggling to get re-elected from the third with the BJP determined to stop him.
