BJP's Sanjay Bhatia and Congress party's Karamvir Singh Boudh have been declared elected to two Rajya Sabha seats in keenly watched elections as developments unfolded over allegations of violation of vote secrecy.
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, in a late-night press conference, congratulated both the leaders on their win.
Calling the elections interesting, Mr. Saini slammed the Congress, accusing it of holding its MLAs captive and transferring them to different places, referring to the shifting of Congress legislators from Himachal Pradesh.
"I have seen for the first time that Congress did not trust its MLAs", he claimed.
