Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu’s Political Triumph: Congress Government Passes Budget Amidst Opposition Exodus,

The Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Congress administration exhibited remarkable parliamentary maneuvering, securing the passage of the state budget in the Vidhan Sabha, even in the absence of 15 opposition members, including dissenting voices from within the Congress party and independent MLAs. This accomplishment came amidst challenges, notably the departure of 9 MLAs during the Rajya Sabha elections, who threw their support behind a BJP candidate. Despite initial hurdles, the Sukhu administration emerged fortified, enjoying a stable position for the forthcoming three months. This strategic move effectively neutralized any immediate threat, thwarting the BJP’s call for a no-confidence vote. The adjournment of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly indefinitely following the successful budget passage further solidified the Sukhu-led government’s control and direction.
