Following Congress party facing drubbing in the recently held Rajya Sabha polls and tongue lashing within the party, the party has asked its members to stop talking about the issue of cross voting by members to the media or to any one.

Bharat Chandra Narah, Senior Spokesperson APCC & Chairman, Disciplinary Action Committee stated, "it has come to my notice that some of the senior party leaders including MLA 's have been indulging in loose talk and alleging CASH FOR VOTE during the voting and also exchange of money during the selection of party candidate for Rajya Sabha thus bringing bad name to the party without getting any positive result".

He added, "During my discussion about the issue with Bhupen Kumar Bora the APCC President, I felt he is highly concerned about the issue and also expressed his displeasure on it. He also said such behavior by our members and leaders also amounts to breach of Party discipline and tarnishes the party image.I would like to request all party members and all other concerned with the issue to refrain from talking about the issue of cross voting by our members during the just concluded Rajya Sabha polls in the state to the media or to any one."
