X
As the term of four Rajya Sabha Members from AP (Jairam Ramesh, JD Seelam, normal Sitaraman and Sujana Chowdary) is near completion, Fresh election will be happening on June 11th.

In AP, Each Rajya Sabha nominee should at least 37 votes to win the election. As per the strength, TDP could easily bag 3 out of the 4 Rajya Sabha seats with its 106 MLAs. But, The Ruling Party is keen to win the fourth seat as well using YSRC rebel MLAs.

YSR Congress emerged victorious in 67 Assembly constituencies in 2014 Elections. Until now, 17 YCP MLAs have joined TDP. If Telugu Desam could lure another 14 legislators of the Opposition Party by June, The mission will be accomplished with the defeat of Vijay Sai Reddy.

Sources say, An independent might be fielded by TDP for the fourth Rajya Sabha seat and YCP Defectors would vote in his/her favor.
