In fact, till noon RJD was claiming 41 votes (MLAs) in favor of its candidate. But by the time voting ended at 4 pm, 3 Congress MLAs and 1 RJD MLA did not come to vote for the Grand Alliance candidate. Due to the absence of these 4 MLAs in the voting, AD Singh got only 37 votes instead of 41 votes. However, Tejashwi Yadav had kept the MLAs in the hotel overnight.
BJP President Nitin Naveen won the Rajya Sabha. BJP Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary and other MLAs congratulated.

Haryana: Congress wins second seat after cross voting of 5 MLAs
The results for 2 Rajya Sabha seats in Haryana were released at 1 am, about 9 hours after voting. BJP’s Sanjay Bhatia and Congress’s Karmaveer Boudh have won. BJP-backed independent candidate Satish Nandal had to face defeat. There were votes from 90 MLAs, out of which 2 MLAs from the Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) did not cast their votes. 4 votes of Congress and 1 vote of BJP were cancelled, due to which 83 votes were considered valid.
Sanjay Bhatia got 27.66 first priority votes. Independent Nandal got 27.34 votes, while Congress’s Karmaveer Boudh got 28 votes. Thus, Nandal lost to Buddh by a margin of only 0.66 votes, i.e. less than one vote.
BJP had 48 votes. One vote was cancelled. Bhatia got 39 and Nandal got 8 votes in the first priority. Congress had 37 MLAs. 4 votes were cancelled. 5 cross voted. In this situation, 28 votes were left. This ensured the victory of Karmaveer Buddhist.
There was a dispute over the first vote. On Monday, MLAs cast their votes under the ‘guard’ of senior party leaders. BJP and Congress came face to face regarding secrecy. Congress raised questions on the secrecy of votes of Cabinet Minister Anil Vij and BJP raised questions on the secrecy of votes of Congress MLAs Paramveer Singh and Bharat Beniwal. It is alleged that the votes were shown to people other than authorized agents.
The commission declared Paramveer’s vote invalid. At 7 pm, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge wrote a letter to the Central Election Commission seeking intervention. Congress candidate Karmaveer Boudh filed a complaint against Returning Officer Pankaj Aggarwal to the Commission. He alleged that the returning officers were working under pressure. At the same time, Minister Krishna Bedi demanded the Commission to invalidate the vote of Bharat Singh Beniwal also.
Congress leader of opposition Bhupendra Hooda was made an observer. He kept an eye on every MLA. In the picture an MLA is casting his vote. Hooda is looking the other way.
