BJP wins all four Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat unopposed:Polls cancelled for first time

In Gujarat, BJP candidates have been declared unopposed for all four Rajya Sabha seats. After the deadline for withdrawal of forms ended today, all four candidates have been officially declared unopposed. This means that elections for Rajya Sabha will not be necessary in Gujarat now. For the first time in Gujarat’s history, Congress will not have even a single member in the Rajya Sabha. All 11 Rajya Sabha seats from Gujarat will have BJP candidates. All four BJP candidates unopposed as opposition does not field any candidate For the four vacant Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidates Rajesh (Rajubhai) Shukla, Mukeshbhai Rathwa, Mansinh Parmar and Jitendra Meghjibhai Kanzariya have been officially declared elected unopposed. As no opposition party fielded a candidate on the last day of withdrawal of nominations, the election officer declared all four candidates as unopposed winners. As a result, the Rajya Sabha elections scheduled for June 18 will not be held in Gujarat. BJP’s victory was already considered certain Due to BJP’s dominance in the Gujarat Legislative Assembly, there was no realistic possibility of victory for the opposition. Currently, in the 182-member Assembly, BJP has a strong strength of 161 MLAs, while Congress has only 12 and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has 5 MLAs. In these circumstances, Congress and AAP had decided not to field candidates in the Rajya Sabha elections. Due to this, the victory of all four BJP candidates became certain. For first time in history, not a single Congress member from Gujarat will be in Rajya Sabha Cabinet Minister Jitu Vaghani said that Gujarat has started the vision of a Congress-free Gujarat. For the first time, there will not be a single Rajya Sabha member from Congress from Narendra Modi’s home state. This has been made possible because of the people of Gujarat. People have elected so many of our representatives that Congress does not even have the courage to fill the form. Being elected unopposed as Rajya Sabha MP is a matter of pride – Mansinh Parmar With BJP candidates being elected unopposed on all four Rajya Sabha seats in Gujarat, an atmosphere of enthusiasm has been witnessed in the party. New Rajya Sabha MP Mansinh Parmar stated that being elected unopposed is a matter of pride. The party has given an opportunity to an ordinary worker to reach the Rajya Sabha, which is a reflection of BJP’s worker-centric ideology. Gratitude to leadership that dedicated life for ideology: Raju Shukla Rajya Sabha MP Rajendra Shukla said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has dedicated his entire life for ideology and service to the nation. I express gratitude for the opportunity given by the party’s top leadership to serve the country and also expressed hope to receive strength and guidance to successfully fulfill the new responsibility. Representing tribal area is a matter of pride: Mukesh Rathva Rajya Sabha MP Mukesh Rathva stated that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has created a historic record of the country’s development by adopting the path of public welfare. Reaching the Rajya Sabha by representing the tribal area is a matter of pride for me. Expressing his resolve to faithfully fulfill the responsibility given to meet the hopes and expectations of the state’s people, he said that he will continuously strive to justify the trust placed in him by the party’s top leadership. Rajya Sabha elections are conducted this way
The election process for Rajya Sabha MPs is very different from other elections. Rajya Sabha members are elected indirectly, meaning they are elected not by the public, but by MLAs. Elections are held every two years because the Rajya Sabha is a permanent house and one-third of its members retire every two years. The total number of Rajya Sabha seats is 245. Of these, 233 seats are elected indirectly, and 12 members are nominated by the President. The number of votes required to win a Rajya Sabha election is predetermined. The number of votes is calculated based on the total number of MLAs and the number of Rajya Sabha seats. The value of one MLA’s vote is 100.
