Before the Rajya Sabha elections, RLM Chief and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha reached Delhi. He was called to Delhi. It is expected that he will meet the top leadership of BJP. There can be talk on Rajya Sabha candidature. Sources say that Rashtriya Lok Morcha may also merge with BJP. However, no official confirmation has been made by Rashtriya Lok Morcha or BJP regarding the merger. At present, all eyes are on this possible meeting and the official statement that will come after that. Five Rajya Sabha seats are falling vacant in Bihar, one of which is for Upendra Kushwaha.
Upendra Kushwaha was promised!
Kushwaha’s party had won four seats in the Bihar Assembly elections. At that time there was talk of him getting a seat in Rajya Sabha and Legislative Council. However, no official announcement was made.
Kushwaha’s son Deepak is a minister in Bihar.
Kushwaha has made his son Deepak Prakash, who is not a member of any house, a minister in the Bihar government. He has not yet been elected to the Legislative Council.
The last date for nomination for Rajya Sabha elections is March 5. Now the question arises whether NDA will send Kushwaha to Rajya Sabha, or BJP will put the condition that he merges his party and takes one Rajya Sabha seat and one Legislative Council seat for his son. The last date for nomination for Rajya Sabha elections is March 5.
What is the calculation of seats for Rajya Sabha?
In the 243-member Bihar Assembly, a candidate needs the support of 41 MLAs to win. Currently, NDA has a total of 202 MLAs. Based on this, NDA can easily win four seats. Even after winning four seats, it will still have some votes left, but if there is a contest, it will need the support of other MLAs to win the fifth seat. In the opposition camp, the Rashtriya Janata Dal-led Grand Alliance has a total of 35 MLAs. He will need the support of other MLAs even to win a seat.
