Rajya Sabha Nominations Filed in West Bengal and Assam Ahead of March 16 Polls

Rajya Sabha elections are scheduled for March 16, with multiple states including West Bengal and Assam filing nominations. In West Bengal, the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC) is poised to win four of five seats, with the BJP expected to secure one. Notable TMC nominees include former Union minister Supriyo and ex-police chief Kumar. In Assam, three National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates—BJP's Jogen Mohan and Terash Gowala, and UPPL's Pramod Boro—filed nominations and are likely to be elected unopposed due to the opposition's lack of candidates and assembly numbers.
