Will ex-CBI chief Nageshwar Rao contest UP polls from PM Modi’s Varanasi constituency? Former CBI Director M. Nageshwar Rao has officially embraced active politics, becoming the national president of the Sarvajana Sanatan Party (SSP). His transition from a four-decade career in security and administration took a political turn as he launched his new venture in Varanasi this Saturday.
During the event, Rao proclaimed his vision for a "Modern India, with its Sanatan civilizational roots," emphasizing education, healthcare and livelihood. Rumors indicate that Rao is plotting a broader political statement and is rumored to be eyeing the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections from Varanasi, a constituency represented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
If confirmed, the appointment of a former top cop from a Sanatan platform could ignite one of the most symbolically charged electoral contests in the state.
