Elections for 56 Rajya Sabha will take place on February 27. In the list, senior Congress leader and former Madhya Pradesh chief minister Kamal Nath's name is not there. Reports say that he wanted to go to Rajya Sabha and had also met Sonia Gandhi to convey the same.
Soon after the incident, Congress leader Renuka Chowdhury was taken away by women police personnel. Later, Chowdhury said she had no intention of humiliating the police official and she merely caught hold of his shoulder as she was about to fall.

Chowdhury made the remarks when she was asked to respond to a comment made by veteran Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan who had said that "casting couch" was prevalent everywhere and the film industry should not be singled out.
