In the Centre, the ruling BJP is seriously engaged in reinventing its minority position in the Upper House. Recent developments also confirm this. The BJP is slowly putting a dent on opposition MPs by putting a dent in them. In the recent past, four TDP, one from Inelo and one from the SP, the BJP's Daman Thama. This has already strengthened the party's position in the Rajya Sabha.

According to a BJP source, two Rajya Sabha members of the Samajwadi Party are still in touch with the party. The two leaders are in touch with a senior party leader. After several rounds of talks, most of the issues have been agreed upon and their positive stand on the others seems to be a consensus on other issues as well. The MPs will then resign from the membership of Samajwadi Party and Rajya Sabha.

Just a few days ago, former Prime Minister, Rajya Sabha member from SP Cote and senior leader Neeraj Shekhar resigned from both party and Rajya Sabha membership and joined BJP. In fact, the BJP wants to pass a key bill on the party's agenda, including triple talaq, citizenship amendment, NIA amendment and Rajya Sabha. She could not get it passed in her previous term due to lack of majority in the Upper House.

The Government wants to change the situation during its second term. At present, there are 5 vacancies in the 245-member House. The House needs 121 MPs for a majority. At present, the BJP camp has 116 MPs, including NDA, Independents and nominated members. If the SP's possible two more MPs resign, the majority figure will be 119.

Then, if Neeraj and by-elections are held in both the seats, all the seats will go to the BJP's bag. In the Rajya Sabha, the BJD, TRS and YSR Congress have 15 MPs who continue to support the government on the basis of issues. If one of these parties also supports the government, the government can pass its flagship bill in the House.
