In fact, the situation has become clear even before the elections for 10 Rajya Sabha seats in UP. BJP has fielded 8 candidates while SP has 2 candidates in the fray. Earlier it was believed that SP could also field its third candidate in the elections, but now it has become clear that SP will not field a third candidate. On the basis of numerical strength, victory of all 8 BJP and both SP candidates is considered certain. Yes, if SP had brought a third candidate then the election could have been interesting. The possibility of cross voting in elections would increase. It is believed that keeping in mind the possibility of cross-voting and the 2027 assembly elections, SP has not fielded a third candidate.
Let us tell you that BJP has made former UP minister Dharampal Singh, UP Backward Cell President Prakash Pal, Radhakant Ojha, Vidyasagar Sonkar, Gopi Krishna Pandey, former MP Priyanka Singh Rawat, Ram Pratap Singh Chauhan and Shruti Gangwar as candidates. Samajwadi Party has fielded Ram Gopal Yadav and Dhanraj Nathwani as Rajya Sabha candidates.
