| The Congress is likely to seek explanation from former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, who may face action after legislators owing allegiance to him rebelled against the party's decision to back Independent RK Anand in the Rajya Sabha election in the state.
Sources said the party was shocked by the behaviour of the 14 legislators who apparently got their votes invalid by marking the ballot with a wrong pen and would go into the entire issue and fix responsibility.
For the record, AICC General Secretary BK Hariprasad said, "We have sought a report from the PCC and the Independent candidate and we are going to lodge a complaint with the Election Commission about the way the election was conducted."
He also saw prima facie a conspiracy from the government's side and said the party will find out the truth. "We will fight it politically and legally."
Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid termed Mr Anand's defeat by BJP-backed media baron and Independent candidate Subhash Chandra as a setback and disappointing and said it needs to be found out what really happened.
"It is certainly disappointing. What really went wrong needs to be found out. I am sure the general secretary concerned will look into the reasons of invalidity of the Congress votes," he said.
Congress spokesman RPN Singh accused the Modi government of using money and muscle power to win these elections.
