2004 Rajya Sabha elections
The 2004 Rajya Sabha elections in India were pivotal legislative elections held to fill 50 of the 250 seats in the upper house of Parliament. Conducted in June 2004, these elections coincided with the broader context of the general elections that year, which saw the Indian National Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) come to power. The Rajya Sabha, as a house of the Parliament, plays a crucial role in the legislative process and representation of states. The elections featured various political parties, including regional and national entities, vying for influence. The results reflected a significant shift in the political landscape, with the UPA gaining a substantial number of seats, thereby enabling it to effectively pursue its legislative agenda for its term.
