1958 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

The 1958 Indian Rajya Sabha elections were held to elect members to the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament of India, on April 14, 1958. These elections formed part of the broader framework established by the Indian Constitution to ensure representation at the national level. The Rajya Sabha comprises members elected by the elected members of the State Legislative Assemblies and Union territory legislatures. During these elections, various political parties, including the Indian National Congress, faced off against regional parties and independent candidates. The results reinforced the dominance of the Congress party within the upper house, securing its position in shaping legislative policies and national governance in the post-independence era.
