Kushwaha with 4 seats gets RS ticket in Bihar’s upcoming Rajya Sabha elections. Kushwaha with 4 seats gets RS ticket despite his party having fewer MLAs than LJP, which holds 19 seats in the Assembly. The decision has sparked political discussion across the state.
The NDA has almost finalised its candidates for five Rajya Sabha seats from Bihar. Upendra Kushwaha, leader of the Rashtriya Lok Morcha, secured one seat. Meanwhile, LJP (Ram Vilas), led by Chirag Paswan, did not get a nomination this time.
Sources say seat-sharing talks played a key role in the decision. BJP and JD(U) have also announced or are preparing to announce their candidates.
After missing out, LJP leaders said they respect the NDA’s decision. The party confirmed it will support all alliance candidates in the election.
Voting for the Rajya Sabha seats will take place later this month.
