2010 Indian Rajya Sabha elections

The 2010 Indian Rajya Sabha elections were conducted in June 2010 to fill 55 seats in the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of India's Parliament. These elections were held for members representing various states and Union territories, reflecting the allocation of seats based on their respective populations. The polls were significant as they took place amidst routine political maneuvering and strategic alliances among major parties, including the Indian National Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party, and regional parties. The elections saw a mix of direct voting by state legislators and nominations, maintaining the Rajya Sabha's role as a representative of state interests in the Indian legislative framework. The outcome influenced the balance of power in the Upper House, impacting legislative processes and governance in the subsequent parliamentary session.
