Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan is considering an offer to become a member of the Rajya Sabha extended to him by the Aam Aadmi Party, according to sources in Delhi. On account of its blockbuster victory in the 2015 Delhi election, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's party is entitled to three members in the Upper House whose term will begin in January. Sources in the party said that the Chief Minister is keen on picking professionals and "outsiders" rather than leaders from AAP for all three openings. Senior AAP leader and poet Kumar Vishwas has said that he feels entitled to one of the three Rajya Sabha seats accrued to his party. "I am human, I also have ambition," he said in an interview last month. He is believed to be vulnerable to crossing over to the BJP, a theory he has denied in the past.
