Amid allegations that they might have been abducted, two MLAs from Congress and one from BJP today failed to turn up to vote for the Rajya Sabha elections in Orissa. <br/><br/>Congress MLAs Shibaji Majhi from Lanjigarh and Gregory Minz from Rajgangpur and also Bhimsen Choudhury, BJP MLA from Bonai, did not turn up till polling came to an end at 4 PM. <br/><br/>Congress leaders alleged that Majhi was abducted by his political opponents to prevent him from voting as a reduced effective strength of the House would indirectly help the ruling BJD win all the three seats for which polling was held.<br/>
