Power games: Parties go all out to win Rajya Sabha polls

New Indian Express  

Game On Parties go all out to win Rajya Sabha polls The current round of Rajya Sabha elections is witnessing a keen contest between parties. Out of this, one MLA – Pallavi Patel – has announced that she’ll not vote for the two forward caste candidates fielded by her party – cine star Jaya Bachchan and former chief secretary of the state Alok Ranjan. This is the shortfall that the BJP’s eighth candidate Sanjay Seth – a prominent realtor and former treasurer of the Samajwadi Party – is trying to exploit. Similarly in Himachal Pradesh, the BJP has fielded former Congressman Harsh Mahajan even though the party does not have the numbers to get him elected.
