Bihar's Rajya Sabha Elections 2026: NDA Targets Five Seats Amid Nishant Kumar Speculation

Bihar's upcoming Rajya Sabha elections on March 16 involve five seats, with the NDA holding a majority of 202 MLAs capable of securing four seats independently. The RJD's decision to contest challenges the NDA's aim to win all five seats, requiring cross-party support for the fifth.

Other contenders include outgoing members and leaders from allied parties, with nomination deadlines on March 5.
