MLC nominations: Govt may send 4 names to Naik
HOWEVER, THE FACT WHETHER OR NOT RAMOOWALIA HAS LISTED HIMSELF AS A VOTER IN UTTAR PRADESH MAY PROVE CRUCIAL WHEN RAJ BHAWAN EXAMINES THE FILE RECOMMENDING HIS NAME FOR NOMINATION AS MLC.

According to sources, minister for jails Balwant Singh Ramoowalia’s name figures on the list of the four names that may be sent to the governor any time.
Chief minister Akhilesh Yadav had inducted Ramoowalia as a minister on October 31, 2015. As Ramoowalia has to become a member of one of the two houses of state legislature by April 30 for continuation as a minister, the state government has been left with only two days to get him nominated as MLC.

Out of nine names recommended for nomination, on July 2, 2015 the Governor had approved only four names and asked the state government to send five new names for nomination as MLCs.
