Mondal said he voted for the Trinamool to protest against the understanding between the Left and the Congress. "Why should I vote for a candidate who has the support of the Congress?"
He also denied allegations that monetary transactions were involved in his decision to back the Trinamool. "This is baseless. This only shows how low the Left has stooped."
Suspended Trinamool lawmaker Mitra said he voted for Malihabadi as her party did not send any communication to her about who she should support.
RSP leader Subhas Naskar said the two party legislators will have to face the wrath of the people.
"This is unprecedented. We will take strong action against them. The public will seek answers from them."
Trinamool general secretary Mukul Roy said: "There are some Left leaders who have now voted for us for ideological reasons."
