BJP's Rajya Sabha tally drops to 86, NDA falls short of majority in 245-member House.

The BJP's tally in India's upper house of Parliament, the Rajya Sabha, has dropped to 86 after four members completed their terms, marking the first decline in several years. This brings the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to 101 seats, falling short of the majority mark of 113 in the 245-member House. However, the BJP remains confident it can secure additional seats in various states, while the Congress party hopes to gain support from independent MLAs and regional parties to make a fight.
