1991 Rajya Sabha elections

The 1991 Rajya Sabha elections in India were a significant political event marking the election of members to the Upper House of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha. These elections were held in the context of a changing political landscape, with the country facing economic challenges and social upheaval following the 1991 economic liberalization. The elections were notable for the introduction of new political alignments and the prominence of regional parties alongside national entities. Members were elected by the elected members of State Legislative Assemblies and Union territory legislatures, reflecting the federal structure of the Indian political system. The composition of the Rajya Sabha subsequently shifted, influencing legislative debates and policymaking during a pivotal era in Indian governance.
