The BJP on Tuesday announced that it has fielded K Narayan, a businessman with an RSS background, for the Rajya Sabha election in Karnataka.

The bypoll for one Rajya Sabha seat is scheduled for December 1.

The seat fell vacant after the death of Ashok Gasti. Gasti had contracted Covid-19 within two months of getting elected into the Rajya Sabha, and succumbed at a hospital in Bengaluru on September 17.
