The Rajya Sabha (meaning the "Council of States") is the upper house of the Parliament of India. Telangana elects 7 seats and they are indirectly elected by the state legislators of Telangana. The number of seats allocated to the party, are determined by the number of seats a party possesses during nomination and the party nominates a member to be voted on. After the Bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, members were allotted to Telangana state for the first time by lucky draw.[1]

Members Bifurcated From Andhra Pradesh[edit | edit source]

Before the bifurcation of states, the combined state of Andhra Pradesh used to represent 18 seats to Rajya Sabha.

On 30 May 2014, draw was conducted amongst the existing 18 members to select the 7 members of Telangana. In the draw, 3 members of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and 4 members of Indian National Congress (INC) were selected.[1]
