The Rajya Sabha elections which came amid the pandemic were not left untouched from the hefty politics.

In Gujarat and Rajasthan, the Congress accused the BJP of attempts to buy its MLAs and whisked away its MLAs to a resort.

The Rajya Sabha elections are very crucial for the BJP as it needs a majority to get its Bills cleared. The party is already enjoying a good majority in the Lok Sabha but it is still away from the majority with 30 seats in the Rajya Sabha.
