Mahagathbandhan MLAs absent from Rajya Sabha voting caused a major setback for the opposition in Bihar. Four legislators skipped voting despite being present in Patna, raising serious questions within the alliance.
The missing MLAs included three from Congress and one from RJD. Their absence came at a crucial time when the opposition needed every vote to stay competitive in the tight contest for the fifth Rajya Sabha seat.
Leaders tried to contact the absent MLAs, but they remained unreachable throughout the day. This unexpected move reduced the alliance’s vote count and weakened its position against the NDA.
Meanwhile, the NDA maintained full attendance and cast all its votes. The absence of these MLAs ultimately tilted the balance in favor of the ruling alliance in the election.
The incident has triggered political tension, with questions rising over internal coordination and possible cross-voting within the opposition camp.
