The recent shift of seven Rajya Sabha MPs from the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) significantly strengthens the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in India's upper house. With this merger, the BJP's numbers increase from 106 to 113, bringing the NDA's total to 149 out of 244 seats, just 14 seats short of the two-thirds majority required to pass constitutional amendments. This development is particularly impactful as it comes after the government faced opposition unity in rejecting the 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill on women's reservation. The NDA's allies currently hold 28 seats, and with upcoming elections in May and November, the BJP is expected to gain further ground. The AAP, which previously held 10 MPs, now has only 3, limiting its influence in parliamentary discussions. This shift not only reshapes the power dynamics in the Rajya Sabha but also poses challenges for the opposition as their representation diminishes.
