In April, 37 Rajya Sabha seats in 10 states are going to fall vacant. Of these vacant seats, 7 are in Maharashtra, 4 in Odisha, 6 in Tamil Nadu, 5 in West Bengal, 2 in Telangana, 3 in Assam, 6 in Bihar, 2 in Chhattisgarh, 2 in Haryana, and 1 in Himachal Pradesh.
Meanwhile, the counting for the Rajya Sabha elections has started long ago. Out of the 4 seats that are going to fall vacant, 3 seats will be easily shared by both BJP and BJD. However, Odisha politics will be interesting for the fourth seat. As the Congress is determined to enter the Rajya Sabha contest without the numbers, the biggest question is who will occupy the fourth seat. The state politics is seeing a new equation.
Meanwhile, after the notification for the Rajya Sabha elections was issued, the rhetoric intensified. The fourth seat will be contested by BJD and BJP. We will also nominate one from the Congress party. BJD MLA Sharda Jena said that BJP is doing various maths. Her party believes in horse trading, that is why they are demanding the fourth seat. But BJD will definitely take two seats. BJD will field two candidates. There is no telling when the maths of politics will happen. But BJD is an expert in crunching numbers. What strategy BJD has adopted will be known at the time of nomination. Naveen Patnaik is an expert in crunching numbers, whether he is a senior or junior. BJD will field candidates after considering all aspects.
BJP MLAs Tankadhar Tripathi and Ashok Mohanty said that BJP is going to field such a candidate, it will surprise and make everyone happy. We will win more seats. How can BJD get the fourth seat without numbers, let him say maths. He is only talking nonsense. Look at who the two suspended MLAs of BJD are voting for. If BJP gets the maths right, then according to our maths, BJP will get the fourth seat.
Similarly, Congress MLA leader Ram Chandra Kadam said that Congress will definitely field a candidate. We will nominate one from our party. All our MLAs will come together and try to make the candidate win. The PCC president has said to meet Naveen. More clarity will come after our president talks to the BJD. There is no problem in trying to support the BJD. There is also no problem in trying for a joint candidate.
