The ruling Congress faced a setback as the BJP won a Rajya Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh, leading to speculation of a possible rebellion within Congress legislators. The BJP and Congress candidates each received 34 votes, resulting in a draw to determine the winner. The BJP claimed that the Congress government had lost its majority and may seek a floor test in the state assembly. The Congress received a three-month respite after the budget was passed in the absence of BJP MLAs. Earlier, 15 BJP MLAs were expelled by the Speaker, with the remaining 10 walking out. The situation has raised discussions about political alliances, with hashtags related to upcoming elections and key political figures.
