The votes of 14 Congress MLAs were declared invalid leading to the loss of Anand who was otherwise expected to win. The Congress leaders and Anand, a well known lawyer, claimed there was no “internal sabotage” that caused the defeat. The Congress leaders and Anand accused Chandra, a media baron, of “playing fraud on the democracy and Constitution” with the help of an independent MLA and some EC officials.
