BJP Names 9 Rajya Sabha Candidates, Bihar Picks Trigger Buzz in NDA The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday announced its first list of nine candidates for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, with Bihar being the major focus area. The development has triggered buzz within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), as it is seen as a move to strengthen the party's presence in the eastern state ahead of the Assembly polls scheduled for 2024.
