Trinamool Issues Strict Directives to MLAs for Rajya Sabha Elections

• Trinamool Congress mandates attendance for all MLAs on February 26, 27, and March 2 to sign as proposers for Rajya Sabha candidates.
• Multiple sets are being prepared per candidate, requiring signatures from 10 proposers each.
• Trinamool aims to secure four Rajya Sabha seats, needing support from 196 MLAs; they currently have 219 direct MLAs plus 6 turncoat MLAs.
• Rajya Sabha elections for 37 seats across 10 states, including five from West Bengal, will be held on March 16.
• If only five candidates nominate for West Bengal's five seats, no election will be held; winning certificates will be issued after scrutiny on March 6.
