The sweeping victory of the NDA in the Bihar election can help the ruling dispensation win all 10 Rajya Sabha seats in the upcoming biennial elections in the state over the remaining term of the Narendra Modi government.

- Saubhadra Chatterji

Of these 10 seats, the RJD currently holds 3, which means that the NDA can improve its overall tally in the Upper House by three seats from Bihar.

The NDA has 133 seats in the 245 MP-strong Rajya Sabha.

The term of five seats will be over next year. Another five seats will face biennial polls in 2028. The current term of the Narendra Modi government will end in May 2029.
