The BJP has named new members for Parliament's committee on estimates, which examines the money spent by ministries to ensure proper implementation of the government schemes.

While former Union minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy has been re-nominated, MP Nishikant Dubey is a new entry to the panel which begins its new term on May 1, a party MP said on the condition of anonymity.

The active and prominent members have been nominated for the panel.

All parties nominate members to the committee on the basis of their strength in the Lok Sabha and normally, the members get selected without any election.
 

But, if the number of nominated members is more than the allocated strength of the panel, then Lok Sabha MPs elect the members.
