1993 Rajya Sabha elections

The 1993 Rajya Sabha elections in India were held to fill 25 of the 245 seats in the Upper House of Parliament. Conducted by the Election Commission of India, these elections were significant as they took place against a backdrop of political instability and communal tensions that had intensified in the early 1990s. The elections were marked by the participation of various political parties, including the Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and regional parties, reflecting the diverse political landscape of India.
