Sudhir Sharma Congress Mla from Dharamshala in Dharamshala on Saturday Feb 24

 Sharma, who has been lying low after being sidelined by the Congress high command, has raised eyebrows by publicly airing his fears and sharing details of the threats he claims to have received.

The situation has intensified as the BJP has strategically fielded Harsh Mahajan, a former Congress stalwart, in a bid to secure a seat in the Rajya Sabha.

With the elections scheduled for February 27, political tensions are running high as the BJP aims to capitalize on discontent within the Congress ranks to bolster its chances.

Despite Congress holding a clear majority in the Vidhan Sabha, including Sharma among its 40 MLAs, the BJP is leaving no stone unturned to sway support in its favor.  BJP has 25 MLAs, three are independents.

With allegations of horse-trading and backroom deals looming large, the upcoming elections have become a battleground for political supremacy.

In his post Sharma informed: "Today, I inaugurated a real-time drink quality monitoring system in Beard. Ensuring clean water for everyone is my top priority".

"Also, i paid tribute to martyrs at Durgamal Dal Bahadur Smriti Vatika in Dadi and laid the foundation stone for its beautification". 

He did not react to media reports about threats to his life which are viral on social media.

Another  estranged Congress MLA from Sujanpur,  Rajinder Rana is also lying low and he and Sudhir Sharma are sharing platform to flag their grievances. 

Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu  along with Abhishek Manu Singhvi air dashed to Una and attended the  prayer meeting of Late Prof Simmi Agnihotri, the wife of Deputy Chief Minister Mukesh Agnihotri to show solidarity with the Agnihotri family.

While Congress is poised to issue a whip to ensure the presence of all its MLAs for the voting process, BJP is gearing up to deploy its resources to undermine the Congress camp.

But Congress leadership is confident to vote Singhvi to Rajya Sabha on February 27. 

With both parties vying for control, all eyes are on Sharma and his supporters within the Congress as the countdown to February 27 begins. The stage is set for a high-stakes showdown as political intrigue unfolds in Himachal Pradesh.
