Himachal Rajya Sabha Election: Will BJP Repeat 'Khela' Against Congress?

• Rajya Sabha elections announced for one seat in Himachal Pradesh, voting on March 16.
• MP Indu Goswami's term is ending, and the Sukhu government will present its budget around this date.
• The election gains significance after Congress's defeat in the February 27, 2024 Rajya Sabha election despite a majority, due to cross-voting by six MLAs.
• Neither Congress nor BJP has announced candidates yet; BJP might wait for Congress's nominee.
• Congress holds 40 seats, BJP 28 in the 68-seat assembly; past cross-voting led to political turmoil and by-elections.
