Why Harsh Mahajan kept asking Congress MLAs to listen to their conscience?
Perhaps despite congress having majority in a rajya sabha seat of Himachal Pradesh, there was a lot of stir in the politics of the hill state after the victory of bjp candidate Harsh Mahajan. Harsh Mahajan, who won the rajya sabha elections, met Union home minister amit shah on Friday. home minister amit shah congratulated Harsh Mahajan for winning the rajya sabha elections. During this meeting, important discussions were also held regarding the political developments in Himachal Pradesh. Earlier on Thursday, Harsh Mahajan had also met bjp National President Jagat Prakash Nadda.
Meanwhile ever since Harsh Mahajan won the rajya sabha elections on february 27, chief minister Sukhwinder Singh has been continuously talking about the instability of the Sukhu-led government. He has claimed many times that his government will not last long. Many other reportedly unhappy MLAs are also in touch with the BJP. In such a situation, the government is going to fall soon. Along with Harsh Mahajan, other bjp leaders have also claimed to be in minority in the government. It is believed that in the meeting that Harsh Mahajan had with Union home minister amit shah and bjp National President Jagat Prakash Nadda, there was discussion about taking this entire incident forward.
Moreover Harsh Mahajan, who has more than 40 years of political experience in the politics of Himachal Pradesh, is known as a manager. By showing political acumen with this management, he won the rajya sabha elections despite bjp having only 25 seats. In the beginning, Harsh Mahajan kept asking the congress MLAs to listen to their conscience and cast their votes, but till the last moment, Harsh Mahajan played with his management. Six congress MLAs along with three independent MLAs voted in support of Mahajan. After this, out of the total 68 votes of the MLAs, the election was a draw between Harsh Mahajan and abhishek Manu Singhvi with 34-34 votes. After this, Harsh Mahajan won by lottery under the draw of lots rule.
