Uttar Pradesh Rajya Sabha Election All Candidates Elected Unopposed

All 10 candidates to the Rajya Sabha have been elected unopposed on Monday which was the last date for withdrawal of names.

Of the 10 seats, BJP won eight and the Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party got one each.

The BJP candidates who have been elected include Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Arun Singh, Haridwar Dubey, Brij Lal, Neeraj Shekhar, Geeta Shakya, Seema Dwivedi and B.L. Varma.

Prof. Ram Gopal Yadav of Samajwadi Party was declared elected unopposed while BSP's Ramji Gautam was also elected to the Upper House.

High drama had been witnessed for the tenth seat between BSP's Ramji Gautam and an independent candidate Prakash Bajaj, backed by the SP.

The matter was resolved when the nomination of Bajaj was cancelled and the BSP candidate won despite having only ten votes of his party.

Senior BJP leader Naresh Bansal was declared elected unopposed to Rajya Sabha from Uttarakhand today with no other party in the contest. Bansal was handed over the certificate of his election from the seat by Uttarakhand Vidhan Sabha Secretary Mukesh Singhal as the deadline for withdrawal of nominations came to an end here at 3 pm.

Everyone was shocked by the BJP's move. This led to huge politics. The SP and the Congress accused the BSP and the BJP of colluding.

BJP is leading in the Rajya Sabha as the results of 11 seats in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand have become clear. The situation of the Congress has worsened.

The BJP now has 92 members in the 245-member Rajya Sabha. Considering the number of BJP allies, this number goes up to 112. Therefore, the NDA is 11 seats away from a majority.

The position of the Congress in the Rajya Sabha has become even more pitiable. Congress has 38 members in the House.
