The big question is whether BJP will be able to give tickets to rebel Congress MLAs. Will these rebels be able to win the elections if they get BJP ticket? The political crisis of the Congress government will be averted by winning one seat. Congress leaders have also registered a criminal case against rebel leader Chaitanya Sharma father and Ashish Sharma for alleged dealings in cross-voting in the Rajya Sabha elections.

Congress rebels have not reached their assembly constituencies since February 27. The question is also whether they will return to their circles as soon as possible after the announcement of by-elections or not. It will not be easy for BJP to give tickets to these leaders.

Let us tell you that Congress had got 40 seats in the 2017 assembly elections. Out of these, membership of 6 MLAs has expired. BJP secured 25 seats. Three MLAs were elected. That means BJP figure is 28 including independents. Since the rebel leaders have filed a petition in the Supreme Court regarding cancellation of membership, it was believed that by-elections should not be announced along with the Lok Sabha. But the Election Commission surprised the politics by announcing the by-election.
This Also If & But-
There are four Lok Sabha seats in Himachal. Elections are to be held on 6 assembly seats. The Sukhu government will have to focus on the by-elections in any case. In such a situation, Congress attention from Lok Sabha seats may reduce. The by-election matters because the Sukhu government also needs its stability. However, the Sukhu government has also given strict signals after the high voltage drama of politics. In this, on one hand the rebels had to lose their legislature, while on the other hand two are also facing criminal cases.
Not only this, in the third master stroke Sukhu has also awarded important positions to angry leaders. Flamboyant minister Vikramaditya Singh has also joined the government after the observers’ report. The observers’ report had revealed that even Vikramaditya Singh could not be trusted. However, Sukhu has succeeded in controlling the rebellious tone in the party.
