Overview
- Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary accused the BJP of "stealing four votes," prompting heated exchanges and "vote chori" slogans in the House.
- Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said some MLAs "sold their conscience," alleging four ballots went to the BJP and three were deliberately invalidated in the fourth round.
- The BJP won one of four Rajya Sabha seats despite fewer MLAs than the ruling bloc, recording support beyond its assembly strength in last week's vote.
- BJP leaders did not name their backers, while NC, Congress and PDP said their agents verified their votes as intact and independents lacked polling agents to confirm patterns.
- A separate row erupted over AAP MLA Mehraj Malik's detention under the PSA, with NC members seeking a discussion and BJP legislators calling the matter sub judice as the Speaker invited issues under House rules.
