Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi criticized the Rajya Sabha's integrity, calling it a "horse-trading chamber" due to alleged corruption and unopposed elections.
Shiv Sena-UBT MP Priyanka Chaturvedi called for renaming India’s Rajya Sabha the 'Horse-Trading Chamber of India,' accusing the Upper House of losing its dignity due to political bargaining, monetary influence, and compromised elections.
She criticized the election process as being driven by greed, with MLAs treated as commodities, undermining the chamber’s role as a deliberative body.
Her remarks follow biennial Rajya Sabha elections that saw 37 seats filled, many unopposed, particularly in states like Maharashtra, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu.
Prominent winners included Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, DMK’s M. Thambidurai, Congress’s Abhishek Singhvi, and West Bengal’s Menaka Guruswamy, India’s first openly queer MP.
The controversy highlights growing concerns over the Rajya Sabha’s integrity and effectiveness.
