2016 Rajya Sabha elections
The 2016 Rajya Sabha elections were held in India to elect 57 members of the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, across various states and Union territories. The elections took place in three phases from March 10 to March 24, 2016. These elections were significant as they involved the selection of representatives from 15 states, with notable states such as Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra contributing the largest share of members. The results reflected the prevailing political dynamics, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies strengthening their position in the house. The elections were a crucial indicator of political alignments ahead of the 2017 state assembly elections.
