The ruling Congress in Himachal Pradesh faced a setback as the BJP won the lone Rajya Sabha seat, leading to speculation of a possible rebellion within the Congress legislators. Both parties received 34 votes each, with the BJP ultimately declared the winner through a draw of lots. The BJP claimed that the Congress government, led by Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu, had lost its majority, prompting talk of a potential floor test in the state assembly. The Congress managed to pass the budget in the assembly with no BJP MLAs present, granting them a three-month respite. Earlier, 15 BJP MLAs were expelled by the Speaker, and the remaining 10 walked out of the House. This development has led to discussions about the government’s stability and potential fallout.
