BJP’s next move will be to show dominance in Rajya Sabha

The BJP-drove National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is probably going to rule the Rajya Sabha by 2021, which will give the government a free hand to clear legislation.

The decision BJP won 303 seats in the 543-part Lok Sabha in the national election, and alongside its allies, has 353. The decision alliance at present has 99 members in the 250-part Rajya Sabha and needs 124 for a greater part. The opposition has 65. Ten seats will be empty this year and 72 in the following.

As numerous as 10 of the Rajya Sabha seats falling empty in 2020 are in Uttar Pradesh and the BJP's gigantic dominant part in the state means it can win nine of those. The BJP and its allies have won 64 of Uttar Pradesh's 80 seats; the opposition Samajwadi Party-BSP alliance has 15 and the Congress has been decreased to one.

Assembly elections are expected in BJP-ruled states like Maharashtra, Haryana, and Jharkhand not long from now and if the party manages to hold all, it will snag more seats in the Rajya Sabha polls due one year from now. BJP leaders are certain that the party will broaden its stupendous national election performance to the state polls.

The BJP's defeats in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh has stalled its walk to Rajya Sabha greater part.

In the event that the seats of BJP allies like the Janata Dal-United in Bihar, the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu and the Shiv Sena in Maharashtra are included, the decision collusion may cross the larger part mark in 2021.

Also, parties that call themselves "equidistant" to the NDA and the opposition, as Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal, the Telangana Rashtra Samiti, and the YSR Congress Party have supported the government on several crucial bills.

A dominant part in the Rajya Sabha will be an immense success for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government as precarious bills like "triple talaq" and the Citizenship Act were hindered by the opposition in the Rajya Sabha.
