Haryana RS Polls: Congress Shifts 31 MLAs to Shimla Amid Poaching Fears; BJP Needs 9 Votes
•Congress moved 31 MLAs to Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, three days before Haryana Rajya Sabha elections on March 16.
•The move aims to prevent BJP from poaching Congress MLAs and cross-voting for the second Rajya Sabha seat.
•Six Congress MLAs, including Leader of Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda, did not accompany the group to Shimla.
•BJP's Sanjay Bhatia's victory is certain; the second seat is a tight contest between Congress's Karmbir Bodh and BJP-backed independent Satish Nandal.
•BJP needs 9 additional votes to secure the second seat, making the election a prestige battle for Bhupinder Hooda.
