Gujarat politics has witnessed a historic change. For the first time in the history of independent India, the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Gujarat’s parliament, will not have a Congress representative.‘It’s going to happen. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won unopposed in all the four seats vacated by the Congress in the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. In a state where the Congress was once the dominant political force, the opposition’s position shows its extreme organizational weakness. As a result, all 11 Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat will now go to the ruling party.
Shakti Singh Gohil is currently the only Congress Rajya Sabha member from Gujarat. His term ends in June“B and with it the Congress presence from Gujarat in the Rajya Sabha will end completely. Polling for the four vacant seats in the state was scheduled for June 8 but no elections were required due to an even number of candidates. The ruling party has also enjoyed massive success in recent municipal and local elections in the state, consolidating its position in both urban and rural areas, and is seen as part of this victory.
There is a lot of tension in the politics of Madhya Pradesh over the Rajya Sabha elections. The Congress has decided to withdraw its MLAs from Karnataka after making serious allegations of MLA buying and selling against the ruling party. The opposition claims that efforts will be made to influence the opposition legislators before the elections‘So they took this precaution.
