RS elections: 2 Congress,1 BJP MLA fail to turn up in Orissa

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/>
