After the uproar of Rekha’s absence in the Rajya Sabha, there is speculation that following the footsteps of India’s sweetest voice Lata Mangeshkar, Rekha might resign from the Upper House, too. The head of the Republican party Ramdas Athawale, who is in coalition with the BJP at present, is advocating Rakhi Sawant for the post and is also assuring several veteran BJP leaders that Rakhi Sawant’s attendance will be 100 per cent and is taking the guarantee for the same. On the other hand, BJP leader Nitin Gadkari is pushing forward Poonam Dhillon’s name; Gadkari is said to be one of the new ardent fans of Dhillon.
