NEW DELHI, Sept 7: The BJP-led NDA has a slender majority in Rajya Sabha<\/a> with the support of six nominated members, which would help the party get the nod for key legislations such as the Waqf (Amendment) Bill.After the recent by-elections, the Upper House has an effective strength of 234, with the BJP having 96 members of its own. The number of NDA MPs is 113. Six nominated members, who usually cast their vote with the government, take the strength of the NDA to 119, two more than the current halfway mark of 117.
\nThe Congress has 27 members in the Upper House and its allies add another 58, taking the opposition alliance numbers to 85.
\nAmong the key fence-sitters are the YSR Congress Party with nine members and the BJD with seven members.
\nThere are four AIADMK members, three Independents and other MPs from smaller parties who are not aligned to either of the two major groups.
\nFour seats from Jammu and Kashmir in the Upper House are vacant as the Union Territory is yet to get its first legislative assembly. This reduces the effective strength of the Rajya Sabha to 241.
\nThere are 11 vacancies in total: Jammu and Kashmir (4), Andhra Pradesh (4), Nominated (4), Odisha (1).
\nTwo members of the YSRCP and one member of the BJD have quit as Rajya Sabha MPs recently.
\nThe BJD member \u2014 Sujeet Kumar \u2014 has since joined the BJP, which is expected to win the bypoll to the seat as it has the numbers in the Odisha assembly.
\nThe two YSRCP members \u2014 M Venkataramana Rao and B Masthan Rao \u2014 quit their membership of the upper house last month. They are expected to join the TDP, a BJP ally that is the ruling party in Andhra Pradesh.
\nThe BJP\u2019s allies in the Upper House include the Janata Dal (United), Nationalist Congress Party, Janata Dal (Secular), Republican Party of India (Athawale), Shiv Sena, Rashtriya Lok Dal, National People\u2019s Party, PMK, Taamil Manila Congress and the United People\u2019s Party Liberal (UPPL)<\/p>\n
