The NDA has been striving for a majority figure in the Rajya Sabha for the past decade. Now that it has been achieved, bills can be passed without any hurdles in the country's upper house. In the past few years, the sheer numbers of the opposition have often come in the way of these bills in the upper house. Some of these bills could be passed with the help of non-alliance parties like Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janata Dal and YS Jaganmohan Reddy's YSR Congress.
