- 9.00 am: Rajya Sabha polling begins in Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh
The BJP with 165 members in the House is sure to send its first two candidates — MJ Akbar and Anil Madhav Dave — to Rajya Sabha. It has however, queered the pitch for Congress candidate Vivek Tankha, a lawyer, by supporting an Independent Vinod Gotiya. Tankha should have otherwise been sitting pretty because the Congress has 57 MLAs and just needs one from the outside. Gotiya has 49 spare votes of the BJP and needs nine from outside.
