"The Rajya Sabha elections once used to be dull affairs. Unlike Loksabha, where the parties had to gather the support of masses, campaign, leaders need to give speeches, hold rallies, meetings etc. Rajya Sabha elections used to quietly get over with many finding out that there indeed was Rajya Sabha elections after the results were out.
But since 2014, this has changed. Since Modi govt came to power, every Rajya Sabha election has been another battlefield. This time was no different. While the voting started at 9AM yesterday , results of Rajya Sabha for many states were not declared until this morning. There were allegations of breach of secrecy, both BJP and opposition demanded to cancel the votes of each other, few candidates were disqualified, there was recounting in some places. After all this overnight political drama, BJP has emerged strong winning as many as 8 seats on its own, Rest eight seats are won by different political parties. across four states.
Let us talk about the result in detail state by state.
