Rajya Sabha Nominations Filed by Ruling Parties in West Bengal and Assam Ahead of March Polls

Rajya Sabha elections are underway in West Bengal and Assam with nominations filed by ruling parties. In West Bengal, the Trinamool Congress (TMC) has nominated four candidates, including a senior advocate, a former police chief, an actor, and a minister, while the BJP has fielded one candidate. The TMC is expected to win four seats and BJP one, reflecting their assembly strengths. In Assam, three National Democratic Alliance (NDA) candidates, two from BJP and one from UPPL, filed nominations and are likely to be elected unopposed due to the opposition's insufficient numbers in the state assembly. The elections are scheduled for March 16, with terms ending in April.
