Rajya Sabha Polls See Opposition MLAs Crossing Event Lines
The NDA picked up speed in Monday’s Rajya Sabha elections throughout 10 states because of cross-voting by opposition MLAs. In Odisha, three Congress MLAs, including Sofia Firdous, supposedly elected BJP-backed candidates.
- Odisha Defection: Congress MLA Sofia Firdous, a first-time lawmaker, elected versus her celebration’s choice to sustain the BJD candidate.
- Thinking: Firdous revealed dissatisfaction with the Congress party’s absence of appointment regarding the BJD prospect selection, checking out BJD as BJP’s “B-team.”
- History: Firdous, 32, is Odisha’s initial female Odia Muslim MLA and a civil designer with a history in property.
