Congress leader Deepender Hooda News: Congress leader Deepender Hooda has won the election from Rohtak Lok Sabha seat in Haryana. Now he will have to resign from Rajya Sabha for which re-election will be held. In this way, Congress has got one seat in Lok Sabha but it is in danger of losing one seat in Rajya Sabha.
Why is Congress in danger?
There is a danger for Congress because most of the members in Haryana Vidhan Sabha are in favor of BJP. Apart from this, cross voting can also be done. In such a situation, this seat of Hooda can come in the account of BJP.
BJP may get support
MLAs of Dushyant Chautala's Jannayak Janata Party and some independent MLAs may cross vote. If this happens, Congress's victory will not be possible and it may have to lose the Rajya Sabha seat. Deepender Hooda reached the Rajya Sabha in 2020 and his term was till 2026.
What does the rule say?
In the current situation, BJP is in a strong position. According to the rules, if a Rajya Sabha MP is elected for a Lok Sabha seat, he has to vacate his seat. Now the Election Commission has to publish a notification for the Rajya Sabha seat. According to the rules, elections will be held in 6 months.
