Congress in Turmoil: Cross-Voting Chaos in Haryana

Amidst allegations of internal rifts, Congress prepares to issue show-cause notices to MLAs accused of cross-voting during Haryana's Rajya Sabha elections. The party faces a critical moment as it struggles with factionalism, while former chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda highlights BJP's alleged misuse of power and authority.

The Congress party is poised to issue show-cause notices to its MLAs in Haryana following allegations of cross-voting in Monday's Rajya Sabha elections. Congress General Secretary B K Hariprasad confirmed the impending disciplinary action, emphasizing a strict response to those who betrayed party lines.

This internal turmoil comes as Ram Kishan Gujjar, Haryana Congress Working President, resigns, further revealing the party's factional struggles. Gujjar, whose spouse serves as a Congress legislator, offered no public explanation for his departure.

Despite BJP securing one Rajya Sabha seat, Congress claimed another in a close contest. The situation has spotlighted internal rifts and prompted accusations from former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda against the BJP for alleged electoral manipulation. Hooda asserts the BJP's actions undermine democratic principles.
