Early Times Report

Jammu, Nov 26: The Election Commission of India on Tuesday announced by-polls for the six seats in the Rajya Sabha but there is no mention of Jammu and Kashmir where four seats of the Upper House have been lying vacant after the dissolution of the Legislative Assembly of the erstwhile state.
The last Rajya Sabha elections in Jammu and Kashmir were held in February 2015 before the formation of the PDP-BJP government in the erstwhile state.
The then BJP-PDP alliance had won three seats and NC-Congress one. Fayaz Ahmad Mir and Nazir Ahmad Laway (both PDP), Shamsher Singh Manhas (BJP), and Ghulam Nabi Azad, former Chief Minister of J&K and then in Congress were elected. BJP’s Chander Mohan Sharma had lost the election.
As per the notification issued by the Election Commission of India, the elections for the Upper House will be held on December 20 and results will also be declared on the same day. Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, West Bengal, and Haryana will elect six members for the Rajya Sabha.
Three seats in Andhra Pradesh, and one seat each in Odisha, West Bengal, and Haryana were vacant.
Three vacancies were created in Andhra Pradesh when YSRCP members Venkataramana Rao Mopidevi, Beedha Masthan Rao Yadav and Ryaga Krishnaiah had quit their membership in August. The terms of Yadav and Krishnaiah as Rajya Sabha members were to end on June 21, 2028, while Mopidevi was to retire on 21 June, 2026.
A vacancy occurred in Odisha when Sujeet Kumar quit his seat following which he was expelled by the Biju Janata Dal. His term was to end on April 2, 2026.
Jawhar Sircar of the TMC had resigned in April following the rape-murder of a woman doctor in Kolkata, creating a vacancy in the state. He was otherwise to retire in April 2026.
Krishan Lal Panwar of the BJP had quit his Rajya Sabha seat from Haryana following his election as an MLA in the recent state polls.
After the recent assembly polls, TDP in Andhra Pradesh and BJP in Odisha will have an upper hand in the Rajya Sabha bypolls. While the TMC rules West Bengal, the BJP had retained Haryana.
