53 Rajya Sabha Members retire today. Advantage BJP?
Synopsis
Fifty-three Rajya Sabha members are retiring from the house today. This is one of the biggest spate of retirement in recent times, according to a news daily.
From the BJP, five ministers - Venkaiah Naidu, Piyush Goyal, Nirmala Sitharaman, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and YS Choudhry are retiring but in all probability, they are likely to return to the House. But for the ruling party, it will continue to fall short of majority.
