Upper hand in Upper House

Hindustan Times  

In India’s democracy, the Rajya Sabha’s role is clear. As the permanent House constituted according to the relative strengths of political parties in states, the Council of States acts as a legislative check on the directly elected Lok Sabha and a forum for discussing diverse points of view. Even if a party holds a brute majority in the Lower House as a result of superlative performance in the general elections, its legislative agenda remains subject to deliberation and compromise until it attains a majority in the Upper House. For some time, it has been clear that the National Democratic Alliance was on its way to gaining a majority on its own in both chambers of Parliament, on the back of its back-to-back victories in the Lok Sabha, and consistent performances in state elections – despite some setbacks in the south and east. This meant that the Congress was no longer the natural leader of the Opposition in the Upper House, with parties such as the Trinamool Congress attempting to carve out a distinct role.
