The Rajya Sabha Election 2026 results from three major states handed the BJP an overwhelming victory on June 11. In Madhya Pradesh, all three BJP candidates were declared elected unopposed after the Returning Officer rejected the nomination of Congress candidate Meenakshi Natarajan. BJP had alleged she concealed a criminal case and court notice in her affidavit.

Natarajan challenged the rejection in the Supreme Court, but a bench of Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Atul S Chandurkar declined to stay the order, saying courts should not interfere mid-election. With no opposition left on the ballot, BJP’s trio received their victory certificates unopposed.

In Gujarat, the BJP’s dominance was equally total. All four candidates won the Gujarat Rajya Sabha seats without a contest. The state now sends 11 BJP MPs to the upper house, with no Congress representation expected until the next Rajya Sabha elections in 2029.

Rajasthan was the only state with a split outcome — BJP won two seats while Congress’s Neeraj Dangi secured one, all three returned without an actual vote.
