By seizing all 11 rajya sabha seats from andhra pradesh and focusing on the opposition telugu Desam, the YSRC wrote history. On Thursday, three recently elected members of the RS took the oath. In the Upper House, the YSRC came out as the fourth-largest party. telugu Desam is not represented in the rajya sabha for the first time in 41 years, having come to power in 1983. On Thursday, three YSRC members who had just been elected were sworn in as rajya sabha members.
 
Vice-president and rajya sabha chairman jagdeep Dhankar swore in Meda Raghunath reddy, Golla Babu Rao, and Y.V. Subba Reddy. Babu Rao took his oath in Hindi, but Subba reddy and Raghunath did it in English. The rajya sabha currently has 11 YSRC members in total, with the addition of the additional MPs making the party the fourth-largest in the chamber.
 
With 97 members, the bjp is the largest party, followed by the congress (29 members) and the trinamool congress (13 members). In a news conference prior to taking the oath, Babu Rao thanked chief minister Y.S. jagan Mohan reddy for giving Dalits a voice in Parliament. His goal is to make the central government aware of the problems facing the impoverished. On february 27, the election commission declared that three andhra pradesh seats will be up for election to the Rajya Sabha. Despite having 22 MLAs in the Assembly, the TD needs 44 votes to gain a seat in the Rajya Sabha.
 
As a result, the TD did not run a candidate in the RS elections, and the YSRC easily won all three RS seats, giving them a perfect five-year run for 11 RS seats. There is now no representation for telugu Desam in the Rajya Sabha. The YSRC overwhelmingly defeated the ap for all three RS seats. There was no candidate fielded by the TD. On april 2, Kanakamedala ravindra Kumar, the only RS member, came to an end of his tenure. This eliminated the TD's presence in the rajya sabha and ended their participation.
 
There are eleven rajya sabha members representing the ap state quota. The YSRC had two members and TD nine in the rajya sabha prior to the 2019 elections. With 50% of the vote in the state's 2019 elections, the YSRC secured 151 legislative seats, handily defeating the TD, which only managed 23 seats. This offered the YSRC an opportunity to gradually gain RS seats.
