BJP president JP Nadda, and former prime minister Manmohan Singh are among the 57 Rajya Sabha members retiring in April, just ahead of the next Lok Sabha polls.

The BJP may have to take a call on the candidature of these nine ministers and Nadda before deciding its Lok Sabha candidates.

In total, 68 Rajya Sabha members are retiring in 2024. BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh will have a maximum of 10 vacancies, followed by Maharashtra and Bihar (six each), Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal (five each), Karnataka and Gujarat (four each), Odisha, Telangana, Kerala, and Andhra Pradesh (three each), Jharkhand and Rajasthan (two each), and Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, and Chhattisgarh (one each).

On the back of victory in recent assembly polls in three states, the BJP's tally in Rajya Sabha may remain the same as it is likely to lose seats in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha.
