BJP Member of Parliament, Jayant Sinha, expressed his desire to step back from direct electoral responsibilities.

During the late-night CEC meeting, discussions centred on potential candidates for 50 Lok Sabha seats in Uttar Pradesh, with roughly half expected to be revealed in the initial list.

According to sources, Shah and Nadda discussed over 250 seats during their brainstorming sessions with state leaders, including 50 in Uttar Pradesh, from which the party hopes to register a landslide victory.

In a show of opposition, BJP members staged a protest march from the Legislators’ Home to the Vidhana Soudha, denouncing the Congress.

In the Karnataka Legislative Council, Congress member BK Hariprasad mentioned that the BJP sees Pakistan as an "enemy country," but the Congress sees it simply as a neighboring nation.

On Tuesday, six Congress MLAs cast a cross-vote in the Rajya Sabha election. They spent Tuesday night at a hotel in Haryana and came back to Shimla on Wednesday for the budget session.

The head of the BJP unit in Tamil Nadu also criticized the DMK for its "past misdeeds" and said it had insulted the country's best scientists in the past.

The meeting with the Governor coincides with speculation that the BJP intends to table a no-confidence motion in the Assembly as the Budget Session commences.

Jairam Thakur, Leader of the Opposition, hailed the BJP's win, attributing it to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP President JP Nadda, and Home Minister Amit Shah.

This year, a total of 56 Rajya Sabha seats became vacant. Eleven candidates were elected without any opposition. Ten are located in Uttar Pradesh, four in Karnataka, and one in Himachal Pradesh out of the remaining.
