BJP is in minority in Rajya Sabha

As of now BJP has just 42 of the 250 seats in the  Rajya Sabha. It can also count on 20 other votes from alliance partners. The Congress has 68 members.

But given the fact that BJP and Congress have similar policies, the passage of most bills from Rajya Sabha may not be a problem.

If the new BJP persuades them the way the previous Congress led government persuaded BJP to support it on many occasions with token protest.     

In any case, BJP's seat share in Rajya Sabha will increase in coming months.
