Himachal Rajya Sabha: Congress Faces Acid Test, BJP Waits for Candidate Reveal

• Himachal Pradesh prepares for Rajya Sabha election on March 16 for one seat.
• Congress held a meeting with high command in Delhi to discuss candidate selection.
• BJP is adopting a 'wait and watch' strategy, likely to field a candidate if Congress nominates a non-Himachali.
• Two years ago, Congress lost a Rajya Sabha seat despite a majority due to cross-voting by six MLAs against an outsider candidate.
• Names like Rajni Patil, Pratibha Singh, and Anand Sharma are being discussed within Congress; BJP remains silent on its strategy.
