1992 Rajya Sabha elections

The 1992 Rajya Sabha elections in India were held to fill 25 of the 250 seats in the Upper House of Parliament. These elections were significant as they occurred against the backdrop of political turbulence following the Babri Masjid demolition in December 1992, influencing the electoral landscape. The elections took place between 15 and 28 June 1992, with several states conducting polls to select their representatives. The Indian National Congress, led by Prime Minister P. V. Narasimha Rao, emerged as a major contender, securing a considerable number of seats. The elections were marked by intense political maneuvering, reflecting the shifting dynamics of power among regional and national parties during a critical period in Indian politics.
