Rajya Sabha Elections 2024: By-elections for two Rajya Sabha seats will be held on September 3. The Election Commission on Wednesday announced the voting schedule for these 12 seats in 9 states. As soon as the election dates were announced, political parties have started preparing a winning formula.
Only time will tell who will win these seats, but this time a tough fight is being predicted on 10 out of these 12 seats. However, Congress is getting more attention on some seats and BJP is facing defeat on some seats. Let us know how the mathematics of Rajya Sabha will change after this election.
are these seats vacant
There are 2 vacant Rajya Sabha seats in Maharashtra, 2 in Bihar, 2 in Assam, 1 in Tripura, 1 in Haryana, 1 in Rajasthan, 1 in Madhya Pradesh, 1 in Odisha and 1 in Telangana.
Why are these seats vacant?
Of these 12 vacant seats, 10 have been filled after members of the Upper House won the Lok Sabha elections, while one Rajya Sabha member each from Telangana and Odisha resigned from their party and joined another party and thus also resigned from the Rajya Sabha.
What was the situation before these 12 meetings?
If we talk about these 12 seats earlier, BJP was ahead. There were 7 Rajya Sabha MPs in it. Both the seats in Maharashtra were occupied by BJP. In Bihar, one seat was occupied by BJP and one seat by RJD. In Assam, BJP won both the seats. BJP won one seat in Madhya Pradesh, BJP won one seat in Tripura, Congress won one seat in Haryana and Congress won one seat in Rajasthan. Apart from this, currently in Telangana, K. Keshav left Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and joined Congress. Therefore, he resigned. At the same time, Biju Janata Dal MP Mamta Mohanta in Odisha left the Rajya Sabha seat after joining BJP.
BJP is strong in Madhya Pradesh and Tripura
A political expert said that whether it is Lok Sabha elections or assembly elections, but the way BJP has performed in Madhya Pradesh so far, it is clear that here too BJP will register a one-sided victory and will win one seat again. Apart from this, BJP is also seen in a strong position in Tripura.
There is talk of one-sided confrontation in Assam too
According to political experts, BJP is looking very strong in Assam too. Apart from this, they had captured both the seats last time too. In such a situation, experts are saying that this time too BJP can win both the seats of Assam.
BJP ahead in Rajasthan
There will be a Rajya Sabha by-election on one seat in Rajasthan. The BJP's position is said to be strong in this meeting. Experts say that given the way the party has performed in the first assembly elections in Rajasthan and then in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP can once again register a win here.
A close contest in Maharashtra and Bihar
If we talk about Maharashtra and Bihar, a close contest can be seen here. Last time in Bihar, RJD won one seat and BJP won one seat. This time too there can be a close contest here. Because, the opposition party also has enough seats.
BJP leading in Odisha and Congress leading in Telangana
Political experts say that this time in the Odisha assembly elections, BJP has ousted BJD from power. This time they have more numbers, so BJP has a huge lead in Odisha. On the other hand, if we talk about Telangana, Congress has formed the government here under the leadership of Revanth Reddy. The party has a good number of MLAs. Experts say that Congress can win in Telangana.
Tough fight in Haryana
Of all the states, the fight in Haryana is considered to be the toughest. There are now 87 members in the 90-member Haryana Assembly. According to the party, BJP has 41 MLAs. Apart from this, two independent MLAs of Haryana Lokhit Party (HLP), Nayan Pal Rawat and Gopal Kanda also support BJP. BJP has the support of a total of 44 MLAs.
If we look at the opposition, they have 43 MLAs. Of these, Congress has 28 MLAs, Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) has 10 and three independents (Randhir Golan, Dharam Pal Gondar and Somveer Sangwan), the fourth independent is Balraj Kundu and Abhay Chautala of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD). The three independent MLAs, Randhir Golan, Dharam Pal Gondar and Somveer Sangwan had earlier supported the government, but recently they shifted their support to Congress.
