Rajya Sabha Results Not Out, Akhilesh Yadav Says 3rd Seat Bid Was "Test"

Hours after at least five Samajwadi Party (SP) legislators in Uttar Pradesh cross-voted in the election to Rajya Sabha, party chief Akhilesh Yadav said SP's decision to field a third candidate was actually a "test" and the party's victory lies in the fact that the rebels were identified. "Our third seat (bid) was actually a test to identify true companions. It was to know who is with people from the backward classes, Dalits and minority communities and whose inner voice is against them. Now everything is clear. This is our third seat victory," Mr Yadav said in a post on X. The 'inner voice' reference was a swipe at some rebel MLAs who said in the morning that they had listened to their "inner voice".
