Patna, March 18: Shakeel Ahmed Khan, a senior Congress leader, has described the failure of three Congress legislators to vote in the Rajya Sabha elections as unbelievable, dangerous, and unfortunate.
These three legislators played a significant role in the NDA’s clean sweep of five Rajya Sabha seats in Bihar by not casting their votes. This incident has sparked intense discussions in Bihar’s political circles about what transpired.
The three Congress legislators cited state president Rajesh Ram, claiming they did not vote at his behest. In response, the state president alleged that their legislators were “stolen.” Accusations of financial influence by the BJP have also surfaced.
In a conversation in Patna, Khan expressed his disappointment, stating that once a party decision is made, it is crucial to make every effort to defeat the BJP. He emphasized that all three legislators were elected under the Congress symbol. Their behavior during the Rajya Sabha elections is unacceptable, he added.
Regarding the allegations against the state president, Khan remarked that individuals can make excuses, but the fact remains that they did not show up to vote. The party had clearly instructed the three legislators and communicated its decision. Once a party decision is reached, the legislators should have been present to do everything possible to defeat the BJP.
Khan also addressed the accusations of financial transactions, noting that this has become a troubling trend. Strange incidents involving monetary influence on voting have surfaced periodically, and such practices have intensified under the BJP’s rule.
He warned that this system is becoming increasingly active and will ultimately harm everyone. Trust among political parties will diminish. This is becoming a deeply troubling tradition. The reasons given by the legislators lack a solid foundation. If they had issues with the party, they should have raised them within the party forum. Discussions could have occurred on the same platform. The public, whose votes enabled these legislators to win, will now question them, and they must provide answers.
