Election Details
Ravneet Singh Bittu was among the 12 members elected unopposed to the Rajya Sabha on August 28. This election was conducted to fill vacant seats, with nine candidates from the BJP, two from NDA allies, and one from Congress.
Impact on Rajya Sabha Composition
With Bittu’s addition, the BJP now has 96 members in the Rajya Sabha, while Congress holds 27 seats. This change follows the vacancy of ten Rajya Sabha seats due to the election of sitting members to the Lok Sabha earlier this year, along with bypolls held for one seat each in Telangana and Odisha.
