Rajya Sabha polls on 4 Gujarat seats to be held this year

Gandhinagar/UNI: Election for 4 Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat, of which 3 are currently with the ruling BJP and one with Congress, would be held this year.

The terms of BJP RS MPs Chunibhai Gohle, Lalsinh Vadodiya and Shambhu Prasad Tundiya and Congress' Madhusudan Mistry would be completed in April this year.

Looking at the current arithmetic of the state assembly, BJP and Congress would get two seats each now if no cross-voting happens. In the 182 member assembly, BJP has 103 seats while Congress has 72.

In Gujarat, the home state of PM Narendra Modi, BJP had won all the 26 Lok Sabha seats for the second consecutive time in the last election but in Rajya Sabha, Congress has got 4 of the 11 seats from the state quota.

The record of maximum number of five times of victory in RS election from Gujarat is also with Congress treasurer Ahmed Patel.

Notably, during the RS bypoll on two seats vacated by union home minister Amit Shah and Smriti Irani, BJP again emerged victorious last year.
