The Election Commission on Monday announced elections to the 56 seats -- 10 from Uttar Pradesh, six each from Maharashtra and Bihar, five each from Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal, four each from Karnataka and Gujarat, three each from Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, and one each from Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Chhattisgarh.
In Himachal Pradesh, the Congress is likely to gain the seat from the BJP, which is currently held by party chief J P Nadda.
According to Congress sources, the state party leadership may offer the seat to its general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.
For renomination to the Rajya Sabha, Nadda will have to look for a seat outside his home state of Himachal Pradesh as the Congress is in power there.
