Rajya Sabha Elections: Congress has lost majority in Himachal Pradesh, claims Jairam Thakur amid cross-voting reports
Jairam Thakur said he can see the government has lost the majority in the state. When asked if his party will seek a trust vote, Thakur said, “Budget will be presented tomorrow.
We will discuss the Budget tomorrow and then we will see the situation there. But I can see that the Government has lost the majority.
The Congress won the Himachal Pradesh assembly elections in 2022 with 40 seats in the 68-member house. The BJP won 25 votes.
If the Congress loses support of 9 MLA, as is being speculated, it will be reduced to 31 MLAs. The majority in the house is 35.
After casting his vote, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said the MLAs have voted according to the ideology of the party. “We have 40 MLAs in the Vidhan Sabha and unless MLAs are bought off, we will get all the votes," he said.Milestone Alert!
