Rajya Sabha Elections Fallout: BJP Stuns Congress in Himachal Pradesh | India Today News

The ruling Congress suffered a massive jolt as the BJP snatched victory in the lone Rajya Sabha seat, triggering murmurs of a possible rebellion within its legislators. Both the Congress and BJP candidates received 34 votes each, following which the winner was declared after a draw of lots. Following this, the BJP claimed that the Congress government led by Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu lost its majority and is mulling a floor test in the state assembly. The Congress has now got a respite for three months after the budget was passed in the assembly with no BJP MLAs present. Earlier, 15 BJP MLAs, including LoP Jairam Thakur, were expelled by the Speaker and the remaining 10 legislators walked out of the House. #RajyaSabhaElections, #HimachalPradesh, #BJP, #Congress, #GovernmentFallout, #PoliticalStory, #ElectionsTVShow, #PreetiChaudhary, #SukhwinderSingh, #ChiefMinister, #Shimla Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
