1992 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

The 1992 Indian Rajya Sabha elections were held to fill 32 of the 250 seats in the upper house of Parliament, following the regular biennial elections. These elections were conducted in a politically charged atmosphere, marked by the aftermath of the December 1992 demolition of the Babri Masjid, which led to widespread communal unrest. The elections, taking place in various states from August to September 1992, were primarily contested by major national parties, including the Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and regional parties. The results reflected significant shifts in party alliances and voter sentiments, impacting legislative dynamics and shaping future political strategies within the context of evolving Indian polity.
