UP Elections 2027: Rajya Sabha & MLC polls to test MLA loyalty for SP-BJP
Aaj Tak · politics
Ahead of the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections, upcoming MLC elections will serve as a crucial test of MLA loyalty for major parties. The BJP, with 255 MLAs and support from allies, holds a strong position but may need additional votes for an eighth Rajya Sabha seat. The Samajwadi Party, with 101 MLAs, can secure two seats but requires external support for a third. Both parties are closely monitoring their legislators due to the possibility of cross-voting, which could significantly impact the outcomes.
