1991 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

The 1991 Indian Rajya Sabha elections were held in June 1991 to fill 24 of the 250 seats in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's Parliament. These elections were significant as they occurred amid a backdrop of political instability and economic reform following the economic liberalization initiated in 1991. The elections involved various political parties and independent candidates, reflecting the dynamic political landscape of the time. The Indian National Congress, under the leadership of P. V. Narasimha Rao, emerged as a dominant force in these elections. The outcome contributed to the Congress's resurgence in Indian politics, enabling it to play a pivotal role in shaping the country's legislative agenda during a transformative period in Indian history.
