New Delhi:
The Congress has won two of three Rajya Sabha seats in Rajasthan, while the BJP won the third in the biennial election held on Friday. In Madhya Pradesh, the score was flipped where the ruling BJP won two and Congress one. The build-up to the elections, in which 24 seats from 10 states were at stake, was marked by a resurgence of resort politics, resignations, switching sides and allegations of bribery.
A comfortable majority in the Rajya Sabha is crucial for the BJP to pilot bills through the upper house. The NDA needs around 30 more seats to have majority in the upper house.
