What the Rajya Sabha polls show

Hindustan Times  

From the down-to-the-wire Rajya Sabha election on Friday — where, keeping with a trend seen in recent years, a largely anodyne event turned into a thrilling political fight due to the Bharatiya Janata Party ’s inclination to take no election for granted — there are four takeaways. One, the Maha Vikas Aghadi continues to be a work in progress in Maharashtra, and despite the best efforts of Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar and chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, kinks in coordination and the inability of two jailed ministers to vote hurt the coalition which has been battling choppy waters and the arrest of senior ministers on corruption charges. With elections due next year and the Janata Dal in some trouble — its candidate received the lowest votes for the fourth Upper House seat from the state — it appears that the state election will see a keen contest between the incumbent BJP and the Congress. But as entertaining as the contests in these four states were, they cannot distract from the bigger picture: That, at the end of the day, the BJP has bolstered its hold on national politics and created a smooth glide path for any legislative agenda.
