Rajya Sabha polls on March 16, BJP-led NDA tally to go up

The Rajya Sabha elections are scheduled for March 16, 2024, amidst expectations that the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will increase its representation in the Upper House. Currently holding 134 seats in a Rajya Sabha of 243, the NDA governs in six of the ten states participating in the elections. This context is crucial as the NDA aims to bolster its legislative strength, particularly ahead of the 2024 general elections. With the political landscape shifting in several states, these elections are set to play a pivotal role in shaping the future composition of the Rajya Sabha and influencing national policy-making. The outcome could significantly impact the NDA's ability to push through key legislative agendas in Parliament, especially as it seeks to solidify its position in the run-up to the upcoming elections.
