NDA has 18 seats

Out of the 27 Rajya Sabha seats for which elections are to be held, NDA currently has 18 (1 from Andhra Pradesh, 4 from Gujarat, 3 from Karnataka, 2 each from Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh, one seat each from Jharkhand, Manipur, Meghalaya, Arunachal, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu). Whereas Congress alliance has 5 seats. Three other seats are in YSRCP’s account. One was with BJD.

NDA is likely to get 17 seats in these elections, while Congress is expected to get five, JMM two and TVK one seat. Zoram People’s Movement can win one seat in Mizoram. YSRCP may lose all three seats.

The NDA currently has 149 MPs in the 244-member Upper House, while the opposition has 78 and non-aligned regional parties have 17 MPs.

This is how Rajya Sabha elections are held

The election process for Rajya Sabha MPs is quite different from other elections. Members of Rajya Sabha are elected indirectly, that is, they are elected by the MLAs and not by the public. Elections are held every two years, as the Rajya Sabha is a permanent house and one-third of its members retire every two years.

The total number of Rajya Sabha seats is 245. Of these, elections are held indirectly for 233 seats and 12 members are nominated by the President.

The number of votes required to win the Rajya Sabha elections is already decided. The number of votes is calculated based on the total number of MLAs and the number of Rajya Sabha seats. In this, the value of vote of an MLA is 100.

Let us understand the formula from the example of 7 seats in Maharashtra.

To win any candidate in the Rajya Sabha elections, a certain number of votes is required, which is called the winning quota. There are a total of 288 MLAs in the Maharashtra Assembly. The seats getting vacant are 7.

Total number of MLAs x 100/ (Rajya Sabha seats + 1) = +1 288 Therefore, to win one Rajya Sabha seat in Maharashtra, at least 36 MLAs will be required.
