TMC Dominates Bengal Rajya Sabha Polls, BJP Secures One Seat Amidst Left's Decline

  • TMC is poised to win four of the five Rajya Sabha seats from West Bengal due to its strong majority in the Assembly.
  • The BJP is expected to secure one seat, despite a reduction in its legislative strength since the 2021 Assembly polls.
  • The election marks a historic moment as the Left Front is set to lose all representation in the Rajya Sabha from West Bengal for the first time since 1952.
  • The decline of the Left Front is further highlighted by its lack of Lok Sabha and state Assembly representation from West Bengal.
  • The Rajya Sabha polls, scheduled for March 16, are seen as a precursor to the upcoming assembly elections, with candidate selection carrying significant political messaging.
