While I support the party, I hope these nominations are based on merit and a proven track record of public service, not just political loyalty. The Rajya Sabha needs thinkers and doers.

Rajya Sabha elections are usually a formality for the ruling party, but it's important the elected members actively participate in debates and raise state-specific issues. Jai Hind!
