The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has achieved a significant milestone by securing a majority in the Rajya Sabha for the first time since India's independence. This majority gives the NDA greater power to pass key legislation without relying on the support of other parties.
The BJP's strength in the Rajya Sabha now stands at 96 seats, with the NDA's total rising to 112 out of the 237 filled seats. This majority is expected to help the government push through important reforms and bills more smoothly, marking a new chapter in India's parliamentary history.
