BJP now has 96 seats in the House of 245. Eight seats — four in J&amp;K and four in the nominated category — are still lying vacant. Along with allies and the support of six nominated and two Independent members, NDA has touched the majority mark of 119. With its improved tally, NDA can get any legislation passed without having to enlist the support of friendly non-NDA, non-UPA parties. In its last term, Modi govt had to depend on either YSRCP (11 members), BJD (8) or AIADMK (4) to get the required numbers in RS. NDA reaching the majority mark on its own is crucial given the uncertainties attached to YSRCP and BJD which have decided to side with the opposition this time.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">RAJYA SABHA]]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">''' If nominations go BJP’s way, NDA’s RS tally can hit 123 '''</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Since nominated members invariably go with the governing party, govt has one more window to increase its lead once it nominates four members to the vacant seats.
