The Election Commission on Monday announced that polls to 13 Rajya Sabha seats in six States would be held on March 31.
The elections to these 13 seats would bring in a minor change in the political equation in the Rajya Sabha. The Congress could lose two seats in Assam and another one in Himachal Pradesh, bringing down its tally to 31 in the Upper House. This would be an all-time low for the party and could even threaten its status as the lead opposition party in the Rajya Sabha.
