Rohtak, March 23 -- Former Haryana chief minister and leader of opposition Bhupider Singh Hooda on Sunday said the Congress leadership would take action against five MLAs, who were allegedly involved in the cross-voting during the recently concluded Rajya Sabha elections.

Interacting with reporters in Bhiwani after visiting a private hospital and enquiring about the health of former Bhiwani MP Jagbir Singh, Hooda said the party had issued show-causes notices to the five MLAs. "These MLAs betrayed the public mandate. They should tender their resignation and re-contest. The public is ready to teach them a lesson. Our party is united. The BJP's attempts to win the election by using all tactics have been foiled by our MLAs," he added.
