Jharkhand Rajya Sabha Polls: NDA-backed candidate Parimal Nathwani wins

An NDA-backed independent candidate, Parimal Nathwani, has won a seat in the Jharkhand Rajya Sabha elections. The victory, achieved after alleged cross-voting, secured twenty-eight votes for the candidate, marking a third term in the upper house. The election involved a three-cornered contest with candidates from the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha and the Congress. The outcome highlights internal differences within the opposition alliance in the state, as they failed to stand united behind the Congress candidate.
