The Congress list of Rajya Sabha candidates has caused massive resentment in the ranks, especially among the "dissenters" and those left out. Sources close to the G-23 or Group of 23 "dissenters" in the Congress have raised many questions about the choice of candidates for the upper house of parliament. The party has chosen "outsiders" in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, the two states where it is in power.
