According to a report published by Janata ka Reporter, Rajan was already considering the offer.

Th state elects three members for the term of six years and indirectly elected by the state legislator. Delhi has three RS seats and given the AAP's historic victory in 2015, the party is set to send three members to the Rajya Sabha.

The choice of Rajan assumes significance in light of his spectacular fall out on economic policies with the Narendra Modi government. PM Modi had refused to offer him a second term.

Rajan was 23rd RBI Governor appointed on September 2013 by UPA government. His term ended on 4 September 2016.

As per the report, if Rajan accepts the offer, his presence in the Upper House will be a cause of embarrassment for the government.
