BREAKING: @BJP4India-backed independent candidate Parimal Nathwani @mpparimal wins in the Rajya Sabha elections in Jharkhand. He defeated @INCIndia candidate @pranavINC. Nathwani secured 28 votes, while the Congress candidate polled 20. @JmmJharkhand candidate won the other seat with 30 votes. Nathwani, who works for Reliance Industries Ltd, entered the election with the support of only 24 BJP-led NDA legislators, despite requiring 28 votes to win. The JMM-INC-RJD-CPI(ML) alliance had 56 votes, enough to elect two candidates with 28 votes each. The result indicates cross-voting by members of the ruling alliance. Nathwani had lined up 30 votes for himself, but two votes cast in his favour were rejected.

Lottery king Martin didn’t just hedge his bets this election, he bought the whole table.

All members of his family won in the election as candidates of different parties.

Wife Leema Rose wins on an ADMK ticket, son Jose Charles Martin scores with LJK, and son-in-law Aadhav Arjuna clinches it via TVK.

Moral of the story: don’t pick sides; own them all.
