Congress triumpcard against BJP is:  Himachal Pradesh Thrust into Unwanted By-Elections, Development Stagnates. BJP Claims the bye-elections are result of incompetence of the Sukhu government, which has failed to keep its members happy. 

Shimla: Himachal Pradesh is embroiled in an unwanted electoral exercise, with by-elections in Hamirpur, Nalagarh, and Dehra, stalling the state's development since February.

Congress has strongly criticized the recent actions of three MLAs who defected to the BJP, forcing these costly by-elections.

Congress has re-nominated Dr. Pushpendra Verma, a medical professional, for Hamirpur and Hardeep Singh Bawa for Nalagarh, while their candidate for Dehra remains undecided.

The BJP, in a controversial move, has fielded former Independents Ashish Sharma, KL Thakur, and Hoshiar Singh for these constituencies.

The trio has resigned from state assembly whose resignations were accepted by Speaker after results of Lok Sabha and six state assembly by-elections. 

According to Congress, the defection of these MLAs to the BJP has imposed an unnecessary electoral burden on the state, disrupting ongoing development projects and draining public resources.

The party is urging voters to penalize these candidates for their betrayal, claiming their actions have forced an unplanned halt to progress in Himachal Pradesh.
