With the Rajya Sabha elections to be held on February 6, the Congress on Wednesday revoked the suspension order against the party’s Lanjigarh MLA Shivaji Majhi . Earlier on Tuesday party revoked the suspension order against the party’s Chitrakonda MLA Mamata Madhi. The Congress has fielded Ranjib Biswal as its nominee in the RS polls. In April last, Madhi was suspended from the party on charge of defying the party whip as she remained absent during the voting of a no-trust motion in the Assembly against speaker Pradip Kumar Amat. Madhi’s support was crucial for success of the resolution, which could not be moved as the party failed to mop up the requisite support. Pradesh Congress Disciplinary Committee chairman Harihar Karan on Tuesday said Madhi had failed to reach the Assembly due to communication problems on that day.
