UP Rajya Sabha Polls: First cross voting takes place; BSP MLA Anil Singh votes for BJP
BSP MLA Anil Singh has voted for BJP during Rajya Sabha Polls in Uttar Pradesh. It was hinted enough that Anil Singh would change sides and do cross voting.
The biggest battle for the Rajya Sabha will be in Uttar Pradesh, where BJP has the numbers to send its eight candidates to the upper house but eyeing an extra seat to disturb the equation of the SP-BSP alliance.
In order to ensure a straight win in the Rajya Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh, a candidate has to get 37 votes. The BJP has 324 MLAs in the state assembly and is assured of at least eight seats. The saffron party will have 28 surplus votes and hope to gain from dissension in rival parties to get his ninth candidate into the Upper House from UP.
The BSP has 19 MLAs in the 403-member Assembly and is short of 18 first preference votes. The SP, which has 47 MLAs in the House, can transfer 10 surplus votes to the BSP taking the number of first preference votes for the BSP candidate to 29. Now, the seven votes of the Congress and one of RLD can help the BSP candidate reach the magic figure of 37 votes.
