New Delhi: The results of Rajya Sabha elections have come out. These results have exposed the clan of the country’s largest opposition party, Congress. The internal situation of the party is clearly exposed by the incident that happened during the Rajya Sabha elections. In Bihar, where three Congress MLAs suddenly disappeared. His phone became unrich while Congress got embarrassed due to cross voting in Odisha and Haryana. This incident has raised alarm bells for Congress. The internal discipline of the party seems to be scattered like a deck of cards.
Three Congress MLAs went missing in Bihar
First of all let’s talk about Bihar. Here, Congress, which is part of the Grand Alliance, had decided to support Rashtriya Janata Dal candidate Amarendradhari Singh. Although there was a close contest on this seat, what happened on the day of voting shocked the Congress leadership. Three MLAs of the party remained absent on the day of voting. The disappearance of these three MLAs came as a shock to the opposition camp, while the NDA candidate directly benefited from it. Later, Bihar Pradesh Congress President Rajesh Ram was seen saying that we did not realize when our MLAs were stolen by BJP.
Three MLAs did cross voting in Odisha
In Odisha, while there was massive cross voting on behalf of Naveen Patnaik’s BJD, Congress too could not remain untouched by it. Here at least three Congress MLAs cross-voted in favor of BJP-backed independent candidate Dilip Rai. This is proving to be a big blow to the party. Amidst the crumbling fortress of Naveen Patnaik, Congress is also failing to save its base.
Congress’s whole game went wrong in Haryana
On the other hand, in Haryana, veteran Congress leaders were in charge of keeping the MLAs united. Even the resorts of Shimla and Kasauli were cordoned off but the whole game went wrong during voting. The news of five MLAs voting apart from the party line dashed the hopes of Congress. The party was so shocked by this that it had to knock on the doors of the Election Commission, but by then the situation was out of hand.
Big blow for Congress
The incident that happened during voting for Rajya Sabha elections in these three states is very serious for the Congress. This raises questions not only on the leadership of Congress President Malkierjun Kharge but also on the state leadership as to why there is such indiscipline within the country’s oldest party and the party which has been in power for a long time. The question also arises whether Congress will take action against these rebels?
Bihar Congress President will talk to top leadership
Bihar Pradesh Congress President Rajesh Ram even said that BJP stole his MLAs. He said that till March 13, everything was normal, talks were being held with all the MLAs. But after March 13, things suddenly started changing and our MLAs became poor. He said that any decision on these MLAs will be taken only after talking to the top leadership.
Three Congress MLAs suspended in Odisha
At the same time, in Odisha, Congress took a tough decision and on Tuesday suspended its three MLAs who voted in favor of BJP-backed independent candidate Dilip Rai. This information has been given in a statement issued by the party. The MLAs against whom the party has taken action include Ramesh Chandra Jena of Sanakhemundi, Dasharathi Gomango of Mohana and Sophia Firdous of Barabati-Cuttack. “Those who betray the Congress betray the nation,” the state unit of the Congress said in a social media post.
Preparation to issue notice in Haryana
On the other hand, Congress is preparing to issue notices to its MLAs who did cross-voting in Haryana. The party has also warned of strict disciplinary action against these MLAs. Voting was held on Monday for two Rajya Sabha seats in Haryana. BJP’s Sanjay Bhatia won one seat easily, while Congress candidate Karamveer Singh Boudh won the other seat in a close contest against independent candidate Satish Nandal. Boudh’s victory was by a slight margin. Meanwhile, allegations surfaced that five Congress MLAs allegedly cross-voted.
