Samajwadi Party, which was out of power in two consecutive elections in UP, may now get another setback. Let us tell you that in the Legislative Council of the state, the seat of the opposition can be snatched from the SP. At present, the BJP has 66 members in the Legislative Council. Whereas SP has 11 members. Meanwhile, the term of 13 members of the Legislative Council is ending on July 6. For which the election is proposed on June 20.
In these 13 seats, it is believed that BJP can get 9 and SP 4 seats. Let us tell you that the BJP alliance has 273 seats in the assembly and the SP and its allies have a total of 124 seats. Significantly, 10 years ago, the BJP had only 7 members of the Legislative Council. But now it is believed that BJP can reach the number of 81 in the same house.
In fact, if the BJP wins 9 seats in the proposed election on June 20, it will have a total of 81 seats in the Legislative Council. This is the first time in the Legislative Council in 4 decades that BJP can cross the majority. Along with this, there is a danger of snatching the tag of being an opposition party from the SP in the Legislative Council.
In fact, the number of members of SP will come down from 10 per cent to 9. In such a situation, it is believed that the chair of the opposition in the Legislative Council can go from the SP. However, experts are of the opinion that in this situation the Chairman can ask the SP to choose the Leader of the Opposition.
Meanwhile, on Friday, the Samajwadi Party declared Lal Bihari Yadav as its leader of opposition in the Legislative Council.
Rajya Sabha elections on June 10: Let us inform that where the election of Legislative Council is proposed on June 20, then before that, the election of 57 Rajya Sabha members is to be held on June 10 in 15 states. During this, elections will be held on 11 seats in Uttar Pradesh. After the results of the 2022 assembly elections, if we look at the numbers, then the BJP can easily send seven members and the SP three members to the Rajya Sabha. Although the BJP can choose one more MP apart from seven, but it will have to be done in maths.
