BJP-led NDA crosses majority mark in Rajya Sabha after unopposed election of 12 members

Share
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has successfully crossed the majority mark in the Rajya Sabha following the unopposed election of 12 new members.  The Rajya Sabha has a total of 245 seats, but with eight current vacancies, four from Jammu and Kashmir and four nominated, the house’s current strength stands at 237. This sets the majority mark at 119, with NDA successfully crossing this mark as it has now a total of 121 seats.  This development further consolidates the NDA’s position in the Upper House of Parliament, enhancing its ability to pass key legislation.Â
