News India Live, Digital Desk: The battle of ‘numbers game’ has once again intensified in the country’s politics. Regarding the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has laid such a chessboard that it has created panic in the opposition camp. If sources are to be believed, this time BJP is not only ensuring its victory but is also preparing to break into the strong forts of the opposition. This is going to have a direct impact on the equations of Congress.
‘Alarm bell’ for opposition unity
The path to Rajya Sabha is not looking easy for India Alliance. In the game of numbers, BJP has strengthened its position so much in many states that even saving its seats has become a challenge for Congress. There is talk in political circles that with cross-voting and support of smaller parties, BJP can completely spoil the mathematics of the opposition.
Congress may lose important seats
It is a matter of concern for the Congress that the tenure of some of its prominent leaders is coming to an end, but due to lack of numbers and internal strife in the assemblies, it is finding it difficult to win those seats again. If BJP is successful in its strategy, then the graph of Congress in the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) may fall further, which will be like a psychological defeat for the upcoming big elections.
What is BJP’s ‘secret plan’?
BJP is eyeing those states where independents and small parties are playing the role of kingmakers. Party strategists are quietly working on ‘Mission Clean Sweep’ in these states. The opposition fears that a situation like Himachal Pradesh or Uttar Pradesh may arise again, where BJP had proved its strength despite low numbers.
The balance of power will change in the Upper House
These results of Rajya Sabha elections will not only change the number of MPs, but will also further increase the power of the government to pass bills in the House. The opposition parties now have very little time left to prove their unity and save their MLAs from breaking away.
