Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav There are 10 Rajya Sabha seats and 11 candidates in the fray with the BJP nominating eight candidates and the Samajwadi Party having fielded three candidates.

So, every political party will have to allot at least 37 MLAs though this will have surplus vote value.
