New Delhi: As
the poll results for the 19 Rajya Sabha seats are declared, the BJP is set to
gain in the Upper House and Congress could lose its strength in the house, but
the interesting election is of former Congress colleagues Jyotiraditya Scindia
and Digvijaya Singh who will sit across the fence in the house. Both former
royal scions of Madhya Pradesh - Scindia from Gwalior and Digvijaya Singh from
Raghogarh - are bitter foes and rivalry between the two led to Scindia's
rebellion and fall of the Kamal Nath-led Congress government in the state. In
Madhya Pradesh, the BJP won two seats and Congress one seat in the polls. While
in Rajasthan, Congress managed to win two seats comfortably and BJP won one.
The Congress won two seats and BJP one after the resort politics, Congress
chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, "Democracy has won and conspiracy
has lost" after KC Venugopal and Neeraj Dangi were elected. In the state of
Manipur which was in political turmoil, the BJP managed to win the lone seat
and defeated the Congress candidate. The lone seat in Meghalaya was won by
ruling NPP as Chief Minister Conrad Sangma tweeted "Congratulations Dr W R
Kharlukhi for being elected to the Rajya Sabha from Meghalaya. I thank all the
MDA partners for bestowing their support to the National People's Party".(IANS)
