Around three-fourth of 43 of the 61 leaders located in the latest edition of elections to the Rajya Sabha are first timers in the Upper House, including Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge, BJP's Jyotiraditya Scindia and AIADMK's Thambi Durai. Only 12 retiring members were re-elected while six MP's with past experience of the upper house returned to Rajya Sabha after a gap. Nearly 72% elected MP's are first timers.
