Lucknow: Suheldev Bhartiya Samaj Party (SBSP) president Om Prakash Rajbhar has asked for an explanation from two party MLAs following reports that they cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha election. After a recent meeting with Amit Shah, the BJP's national president, Rajbhar, a Cabinet minister in the state government, Om Prakash declared his four-MLA strong party's support for the saffron party candidates 

"I have served notices to Kailash Nath Sonekar and Tirveni Ram seeking an explanation following reports in a section of media that they cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha election," he said.

The two MLAs have been asked to submit their explanations in a week's time, Rajbhar said, adding it is necessary that the truth is known. The Rajya Sabha elections took place on Friday.

BJP on Friday took a sweet revenge on the Opposition by ensuring the victory of all its nine candidates. The remaining seat went to the Samajwadi Party in the polls marred by cross-voting from both the sides, which led to the defeat of the BSP candidate in the prestigious battle of ballots, touted as a test for the new-found bonhomie between the parties headed by Akhilesh Yadav and Mayawati.
