Political Turmoil Erupts in Himachal Pradesh as BJP Shocks Congress in Rajya Sabha Upset

Himachal Pradesh finds itself in a whirlwind of political turmoil following a surprising turn of events in the Rajya Sabha elections. The BJP's unexpected victory over Congress heavyweight Abhishek Manu Singhvi has sent shockwaves through the state's political landscape. The Leader of Opposition, Jairam Thakur, along with BJP legislators, met Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla to discuss the unfolding crisis. They highlighted their grievances, including denied requests for a vote division and alleged unacceptable behavior towards BJP members by the Marshals during Assembly sessions. Concerns were raised about potential repercussions for BJP legislators and Congress members who supported the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha polls. The fear of suspension looms over certain MLAs, raising questions about the Congress government's stability. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu faced embarrassment as six Congress MLAs defected, paving the way for the BJP's unexpected victory. With Congress holding 40 seats and BJP 25 in the 68-member Himachal Pradesh Assembly, the possibility of a no-trust motion looms large, signaling further uncertainty in the state's political future. #politicalgossip
