BJP’s masterstroke in Rajya Sabha elections will spoil the opposition’s game, Congress may get the biggest blow till now

News India Live, Digital Desk: Once again the battle of ‘numbers game’ has intensified in the country’s politics. Regarding the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has laid such a chessboard that it has created panic in the opposition camp. If sources are to be believed, this time BJP is not only ensuring its victory but is also preparing to break into the strong forts of the opposition. This is going to have a direct impact on the equations of Congress. The road to Rajya Sabha is not looking easy for India Alliance, an ‘alarm bell’ for opposition unity. In the game of numbers, BJP has strengthened its position so much in many states that even saving its seats has become a challenge for Congress. There is a discussion in the political circles that due to cross voting and the support of small parties, BJP can completely spoil the mathematics of the opposition. Important seats can be lost from the hands of Congress. The matter of concern for Congress is that the tenure of some of its strong leaders is coming to an end, but due to lack of numerical strength and internal tussle in the assemblies, it is finding it difficult to win those seats again. If BJP is successful in its strategy, then Congress’s graph in the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) may fall further, which will be like a psychological defeat for the upcoming big elections. What is BJP’s ‘secret plan’? BJP is eyeing those states where independents and small parties are in the role of kingmakers. Party strategists are quietly working on ‘Mission Clean Sweep’ in these states. The opposition fears that a situation like Himachal Pradesh or Uttar Pradesh may arise again, where BJP had proved its strength despite less numbers. The balance of power will change in the Upper House. These results of Rajya Sabha elections will not only change the number of MPs, but will also further increase the power of the government to pass bills in the House. The opposition parties now have very little time left to prove their unity and save their MLAs from breaking away.
