Among those likely to switch sides are several prominent faces, including former MLAs Rajkumar Thukral, Bhimlal Arya and Narayan Pal. Their potential exit signals growing unease within the state unit and could reshape local political dynamics.

Former MLAs, Senior Leaders Among Likely Defectors

Other leaders expected to join the Congress include Lakhan Negi, who has previously contested as an Independent candidate from Bhimtal, along with Gaurav Goyal, former Mayor of Roorkee, and Anuj Gupta, former Municipal Council Chairman of Mussoorie.
