1999 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

The 1999 Indian Rajya Sabha elections, held in various states, were a significant component of the parliamentary electoral process in India, occurring against the backdrop of a politically dynamic landscape following the 1998 general elections. These elections were conducted to fill 30 of the 250 seats in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's Parliament, where members are elected for a six-year term. The electoral process involved the indirect election of representatives by the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies. The Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party were the primary contenders in this election, reflecting the broader ideological contest in Indian politics during the late 1990s. The outcomes of these elections played a crucial role in shaping the legislative agenda and influencing the composition of the Rajya Sabha.
