Rajya sabha election

Today it is notified that Hema Malini got elected to Rajya sabha, the Upper House from Karnataka assembly. It is a good thing that all categories of people are there in the upper house. But, when it comes to major discussions on bills and other political matters how much such people can contribute is a question. Very often their comments are not seen in any discussion related reports. May be they are neglected by the media ?
