1984 Rajya Sabha elections

The 1984 Rajya Sabha elections in India were held to fill the vacancies in the upper house of Parliament, with elections taking place in various states between April 1984 and June 1984. These elections were significant as they followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in October 1984, which had profound implications for Indian politics. The Indian National Congress (INC), under the leadership of Rajiv Gandhi, emerged as the dominant party, reinforcing its influence in the Rajya Sabha. A total of 42 members were elected from different states, reflecting the political dynamics shaped by the aftermath of Gandhi's assassination and the subsequent Lok Sabha elections. The elections highlighted the INC's resurgence and the realignment of regional political forces.
