Rajya Sabha Elections in Bihar: NDA Targets Five Seats Amid Opposition Challenge

The Rajya Sabha elections in Bihar, scheduled for March 16, involve five seats with the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) holding a majority in the 243-member Assembly. The NDA can secure four seats independently, while the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) aims to contest for the fifth. Key contenders include Upendra Kushwaha of Rashtriya Lok Morcha, likely nominated by the NDA after talks with BJP leaders, and Nishant Kumar, son of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose nomination remains uncertain amid alliance negotiations involving multiple parties.
