BJP overtook Congress as the largest political party in Rajya Sabha for the first time since the BJP-led NDA formed the government in 2014. This comes after BJP MP Sampatiya Uikey took oath as the Rajya Sabha member on Thursday. The saffron party now has 58 members, whereas Congress accounts to 57 members in the upper house. The BJP-led NDA, however, is still short of a decisive majority in the house but the joining of JD(U) to the ruling block has further boosted its numbers.
