The BJP has nominated the former CJI Gogoi to Rajyasabha under the Presidents quota. It was Gogi who opined that after Retirement there should be no appointment.
But he accepted the appointment. MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi stated that the BJP Government got the political benefit from Gogoi when he was the CJI and that was the reason he was given the post.
The Congress leaders also condemned the attitude of the BJp Government for taking Gogi to Rajyasabha. The appointment has become the talk of the town and some leaders opined that it is a quid pro quo.
On the whole, there are no proper opinions on the appointment of Gogoi to the Rajya Sabha. Some of the leaders from the Congress said that Gogoi could be used by the BJP to influence the Judiciary.
There are people other than political fields who said that Gogoi has been rewarded for giving pro judgements to the BJP Government.
