Uttar Pradesh Rajya Sabha Elections Set for October 16 Amid BJP-SP Contest
The upcoming October 16 Rajya Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh involve 10 seats, with the BJP expected to secure seven and the Samajwadi Party (SP) two, while the tenth seat remains contested. The SP has nominated veteran Ram Gopal Yadav and Reliance executive Dhanraj Nathwani, with plans for a third candidate, potentially from a PDA community. The BJP is monitoring cross-voting risks amid claims of BJP MLAs in touch with the SP. These elections precede the 2027 Assembly polls and reflect shifting caste and political dynamics in the state.
