The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is one of the two major parties in the political system of Republic of India, the other being the Indian National Congress (INC).[1] As of 2025, it is the country's largest political party in terms of representation in the Lok Sabha (House of people) and Rajya Sabha (Council of States).[2] and is the world's largest political party in terms of primary membership.[3] Established in 1980, the BJP's platform is generally considered as the right-wing of the political spectrum.[4]

The Rajya Sabha (Council of States) is the upper house of the Parliament of India.[5] As of October 2025, 361 BJP leaders have been a member of the Rajya Sabha,[6] out of which 103 are sitting members.[7] Members of the Rajya Sabha are indirectly elected by state and territorial legislatures using single transferable votes, while twelve members are appointed by the President of India for their contributions to art, literature, science, and social services.[5][8] According to the Constitution of India, the Rajya Sabha has certain special powers being a federal chamber.[8] The Rajya Sabha is not subjected to dissolution unlike the Lok Sabha, and the term of its member is six years.[8]

Thirty four of the Rajya Sabha members from the BJP are women,[6] out of which thirteen are sitting members – Indu Goswami, Rekha Sharma, Kiran Chaudhary, Nirmala Sitharaman, Dharamshila Gupta, Maya Naroliya, Sumitra Valmiki, Kavita Patidar, Ramilaben Bara, Kalpana Saini, Mamata Mohanta, Phangnon Konyak and Medha Kulkarni.[9] Eleven of the sitting members from the BJP are members of the Union Council of Ministers of India.[10] Jaswant Singh represented Rajasthan for four terms which amounted to a total tenure length of 7398 days, the longest for any Rajya Sabha member from the BJP.[11][12] The only other BJP members to serve four terms as a Rajya Sabha member are Arun Jaitley, Pramod Mahajan, Venkaiah Naidu, and Ravi Shankar Prasad.[11]

BJP members have represented 27 states and union territories in the Rajya Sabha. Out of these, Uttar Pradesh has contributed the highest number of members (63).[6] It is followed by Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat with 45 each.[6]
