Despite the majority, Congress had to face defeat in the elections held on the Rajya Sabha seat of Himachal Pradesh. This is because 10 to 11 MLAs of the party did cross voting. Along with this, news is now coming that the Congress high command can also remove the Himachal CM. Sources have said that Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge has spoken to Rahul Gandhi in this regard.
If media reports are to be believed, it is being said that there has been talk between the two regarding changing the Chief Minister. Sources have also said that if the rebel Congress MLAs do not return, the Speaker can also cancel their membership. Amidst the ongoing political instability in Himachal, Leader of Opposition and senior BJP leader Jairam Thakur said that the Congress government has lost the moral basis to remain in power.
BJP has won the only seat of Himachal Pradesh in the Rajya Sabha elections. The surprising thing is that Congress is in power in Himachal.
