India: BJP To Get More Rajya Sabha Seats From Uttar Pradesh

NEW DELHI, 13 May 2022, (TON): The BJP is set to increase its members in Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh, while the BSP and the Congress would be the major losers in the upcoming election.

Uttar Pradesh sends 31 members to Rajya Sabha. Among the 11 retiring MPs from the state, five are from the BJP.

The Election Commission announced that voting will be held on June 10 to fill 57 Rajya Sabha seats from 15 states, including 111 from Uttar Pradesh.

These seats will be falling vacant due to the retirement of members between June and August.

Kapil Sibal from Congress, Satish Chandra Mishra, BSP general secretary, and Reoti Raman Singh of Samajwadi Party are among the members whose terms are ending.
