February 28, 2024: The Times of India

Cross-voting, an ailing MLA being airlifted, a tie resolved by draw of lots resulting in a loss for Congress: The election to the lone Rajya Sabha seat in Himachal was full of drama and set the stage for BJP to mount a no confidence move against the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu govt, and triggered calls from within for the exit of the CM, reports Anand Bodh.


With 40 Congress MLAs in the 68-strong assembly and three Independents supposedly backing the party, its candidate Abhishek Singhvi was expected to cruise to a win. But BJP’s Harsh Mahajan, ended up with 34 votes, as six Congress MLAs crossvoted. They claimed that a total of 26 MLAs were unhappy with Sukhu, and wanted him replaced as CM.
