The Congress\u2019s general secretary further claimed that the BJP is trying to push the state towards a political disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking to X, formerly Twitter, she wrote that in democracy, the general public has the right to choose the government of their choice. She added that the people of Himachal used the right and formed the Congress government with a clear majority. However, BJP wants to crush this right of the people of Himachal by misusing the money power, power of agencies and power of the Centre, she continued. Priyanka Gandhi further stated that the way BJP is using government security and machinery for this purpose is unprecedented in the history of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She further asserted that the BJP totally depends on horse-trading of representatives to grab power. She explained that if a party with 25 MLAs is challenging the majority of 43 MLAs, then it clearly means that it is dependent on horse-trading of representatives. This attitude of theirs is unethical and unconstitutional, she continued. Priyanka Gandhi further recalled that the BJP, which did not stand with the people of the state during the natural disaster, now wants to push the state into political disaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"hi\" dir=\"ltr\">\u0932\u094b\u0915\u0924\u0902\u0924\u094d\u0930 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0906\u092e \u091c\u0928\u0924\u093e \u0915\u094b \u0905\u092a\u0928\u0940 \u092a\u0938\u0902\u0926 \u0915\u0940 \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u091a\u0941\u0928\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u093e \u0905\u0927\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u0939\u093f\u092e\u093e\u091a\u0932 \u0915\u0940 \u091c\u0928\u0924\u093e \u0928\u0947 \u0905\u092a\u0928\u0947 \u0907\u0938\u0940 \u0905\u0927\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0915\u093e \u0907\u0938\u094d\u0924\u0947\u092e\u093e\u0932 \u0915\u093f\u092f\u093e \u0914\u0930 \u0938\u094d\u092a\u0937\u094d\u091f \u092c\u0939\u0941\u092e\u0924 \u0938\u0947 \u0915\u093e\u0902\u0917\u094d\u0930\u0947\u0938 \u0915\u0940 \u0938\u0930\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u092c\u0928\u093e\u0908\u0964 \u0932\u0947\u0915\u093f\u0928 \u092d\u093e\u091c\u092a\u093e \u0927\u0928\u092c\u0932, \u090f\u091c\u0947\u0902\u0938\u093f\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0940 \u0924\u093e\u0915\u0924 \u0914\u0930 \u0915\u0947\u0902\u0926\u094d\u0930 \u0915\u0940 \u0938\u0924\u094d\u0924\u093e \u0915\u093e \u0926\u0941\u0930\u0941\u092a\u092f\u094b\u0917 \u0915\u0930\u0915\u0947 \u0939\u093f\u092e\u093e\u091a\u0932 \u0935\u093e\u0938\u093f\u092f\u094b\u0902 \u0915\u0947 \u0907\u0938 \u0905\u0927\u093f\u0915\u093e\u0930 \u0915\u094b \u0915\u0941\u091a\u0932\u0928\u093e \u091a\u093e\u0939\u0924\u0940 \u0939\u0948\u0964 \u0907\u0938\u2026<\/p>&mdash; Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (@priyankagandhi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/priyankagandhi\/status\/1762755068036591838?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Her remarks came hours after the BJP claimed that Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led Himachal government is in the minority after the former won the state&#8217;s lone Rajya Sabha seat with its candidate Harsh Mahajan defeating Congress stalwart Singhvi, despite the latter being in the majority.
