Political Allegations Mar Bihar Rajya Sabha Polls: Calls for Anti-Defection Law Review

Amidst allegations of 'horse-trading', the BJP-led NDA secured a clean sweep in Bihar's Rajya Sabha elections, winning all five seats. Opposition parties, including the Congress and RJD, have demanded a review of the anti-defection law, citing 'money power' influences as critical factors in the results.

Congress MP Manish Tewari lamented the decline of political morality, while RJD MP Sudhakar Singh accused the NDA of manipulating the elections without majority support. Both leaders accused the BJP of similar tactics in various states, insisting that democracy is being undermined.

However, the NDA dismissed these allegations. BJP and JD(U) leaders emphasized the opposition's failure to manage internal unity, criticizing their absence during crucial voting periods. Bihar's Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Nitin Nabin, and other NDA allies expressed gratitude towards their legislators for the decisive victory.
