The NDA may win at least half the 24 seats to which elections will be held, while Opposition may win in a few states NEW DELHI : The Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is inching towards the halfway mark in the 245-member Rajya Sabha with polling for 24 seats scheduled later this month.
The collective strength of the Opposition in the Upper House has often posed a challenge to the government’s legislative agenda.
The ruling alliance is likely to win half these seats, gaining in at least four, while the Opposition may do well in Jharkhand and Rajasthan, where the Congress-led alliance had performed well in the last assembly elections.
