In Mumbai, the BJP’s Piyush Goyal, a former Union Minister, will be 60 on June 13. This election was his first attempt to win a Lok Sabha seat. So far, Mr. Goyal has been a member of the Rajya Sabha and has handled multiple portfolios, including finance, railways, coal, corporate affairs, commerce and industry, and textiles.
Mr. Goyal’s parents were BJP loyalists. In the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government, his father Vedprakash Goyal was the Union Minister of shipping. His mother, Chandrakanta Goyal, was a three-time MLA from Mumbai’s Matunga constituency.
