Rajya Sabha election process: Rajya Sabha election process is complex
Rajya Sabha members are not directly elected by the public, rather they are elected by representatives elected by the public. MLAs vote in Rajya Sabha elections. The voting formula is also completely different. By adding one to the vacant Rajya Sabha seats of a state, dividing it into the total assembly seats, and then adding one to it. MLAs have to indicate their preferences on a paper. The vote of each MLA is counted only once. On the basis of priority, the MLA has to tell who is his first choice and who is the second. The one who gets more first choice votes will win.
Let us take UP for example. Elections are to be held for 10 seats in UP. There are a total of 403 assembly seats in the state. In such a situation, first of all 403 is multiplied by 100. It becomes 40300. After this, one is added to the number of seats (10). 40300 has to be divided by 11, which is 3663. That means Rajya Sabha candidates in UP need 3700 marks to win. That means, to win every seat in UP, candidates need the support of at least 37 MLAs.
Voting tomorrow for 15 Rajya Sabha seats, defeat of three out of 18 candidates is certain, know everything
Voting for 15 Rajya Sabha seats is to be held on 27 February. Every two years, elections are held for at least 33 percent of the Rajya Sabha seats. February 27 was also chosen for the selection of 56 Rajya Sabha MPs from 15 states. However, as many seats were vacant from 12 states, the same number of candidates filed their nominations. In such a situation, 41 candidates from 12 states became Rajya Sabha MPs unopposed. Now elections are to be held for three states. Here we are giving complete information related to Rajya Sabha elections.
On February 27, voting is to be held for 10 seats in Uttar Pradesh, one seat in Himachal Pradesh and four seats in Karnataka. In all three states, there are one more candidates in the electoral fray than the number of vacant seats.
It is difficult for Akhilesh’s candidate to win in UP.
Voting will be held on Tuesday for 10 Rajya Sabha seats of Uttar Pradesh. A total of 11 candidates are in the fray. Of these, 8 are from Bharatiya Janata Party and 3 from Samajwadi Party. In UP assembly of 403 members, only 397 MLAs are eligible to vote. 4 seats were already vacant, apart from this, jailed SP MLA Irfan Solanki and SubhaSP MLA Abbas Ansari have not been allowed to vote. The entire election equation now hinges on Raja Bhaiya, Subhaspa, Nishad Party and RLD. The victory of seven candidates of BJP and two candidates of Samajwadi Party is certain. A screw is stuck on a seat. Raja Bhaiya and Jayant have made it clear that they will vote for the BJP candidate. In such a situation, the victory of Akhilesh’s third candidate seems difficult.
What is the situation in Himachal?
Here Congress has made Abhishek Manu Singhvi its candidate. Any party will need 35 votes to ensure victory for its candidate. Congress has 40 MLAs. Three independents are also with the government. In such a situation, Congress has the upper hand, but BJP has given ticket to Harsh Mahajan here. Harsh has come to BJP from Congress. In such a situation, BJP will hope that Harsh will get cross voting from Congress MLAs. However, it is very difficult to conduct cross voting from such a large number of ruling party MLAs.
Where will the problem arise in Karnataka?
Here Congress has given tickets to Ajay Maken, Syed Nasir Hussain and GC Chandrashekhar. Whereas, BJP and JDS alliance has fielded Narayana Krishnasa Bhandge and Kupendra Reddy. In the 224-member assembly, 45 votes are required for an MP to win. Congress has 135 MLAs. BJP has 66 MLAs and JDS has 19 MLAs. There are also four other MLAs. If everything remains normal then all three Congress candidates will win. At the same time, if the votes of the other four MLAs and any Congress MLA go to the BJP candidate, both the BJP candidates can win. Otherwise the defeat of a candidate of BJP-JDS alliance is certain.
How will voting take place?
Voting in Rajya Sabha will be held at more than one booth, where polling agents of those parties who have fielded their candidates will also be present. Voting will take place between 9 am and 4 pm. After this the counting of votes will start. The names of all the candidates will be on the ballot paper. MLAs will have to write their preferences with the Election Commission’s pen in front of the name of the candidates for whom they want to vote with preference, 1 in front of the name of the candidate and 2 in front of the name of the one to whom they give second preference. If any MLA writes with his own pen then the vote will be rejected.
Current situation in Rajya Sabha
On February 20, Rajya Sabha MPs were selected in 12 states, because these MPs were unopposed and their victory was certain even if elections were held. The election of MPs on a total of 41 seats remained unopposed. Now elections will be held on 15 seats. Of these 41 MPs, 20 were from BJP, 6 from Congress, 4 from TMC, 3 from YR Congress, 2 from RJD, 2 from BJD and one MP each from NCP, Shiv Sena, BRS, JDU. Now in Rajya Sabha, BJP has 113, Congress 36, TMC 17, Aam Aadmi Party 10, DMK 10, YR Congress 3, RJD 2, BJD 2, NCP, Shiv Sena, BRS and JDU have one MP.
What could be the situation after the elections?
Voting for 15 seats in the Rajya Sabha elections is to be held on 27th February. The screw may get stuck on three of those seats. One seat each from Karnataka, Himachal and Uttar Pradesh is included in this. In these three seats, Congress candidate in Himachal, BJP in Uttar Pradesh and Congress candidate in Karnataka have more chances of winning. If there is not much change in this, then after the elections are over, BJP will have 122, Congress 40, TMC 17, Aam Aadmi Party 10, DMK 10, YR Congress 3, Samajwadi Party 2, RJD 2, BJD 2, NCP, Shiv Sena, BRS and JDU can have one MP each.
