"Congress Gone Case, Himachal Government Will Fall Soon": BJP's Rajya Sabha Winner

Riding high on his and his party's stunning victory in the lone Rajya Sabha seat in Himachal Pradesh, BJP leader Harsh Mahajan has declared that the Congress is a "gone case" and its government in the state will "fall very soon". In an exclusive interview with NDTV on Wednesday, Mr Mahajan said that apart from the six Congress MLAs that cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha election on Tuesday, at least ten more legislators are in touch with him and are likely to make the switch to the BJP soon. For the Congress, Mr Mahajan's remarks will sting even more because he was a long-time member of the party and had quit just ahead of the 2022 Assembly elections in Himachal Pradesh
