Speaking about allegations of cross-voting in Rajya Sabha elections, BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla said, "Those who are talking about horse trading...are themselves a party that steals fodder from horses, cows...and bulls." "Your leaders don't trust you. What can we do about this? The public rejected Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi and now... your...MLAs are rejecting you," Poonawalla added.
