Sonia Gandhi secures an uncontested victory in Rajasthan's Rajya Sabha elections, becoming the second Gandhi family member to do so. The former Congress president, aged 77, elected unopposed after previously expressing her retirement from general elections. This marks her first term in the Upper House after five consecutive terms in the Lok Sabha. Chunnilal Garasiya and Madan Rathore of BJP also elected unopposed. Speculation arises about Priyanka Gandhi's potential entry into Raebareli constituency, following Sonia Gandhi's decision not to contest Lok Sabha polls. Congress now holds six seats, while BJP has four in the state.
