Soon after Congress observer for Himachal Pradesh, DK Shivakumar, declared that Himachal Pradesh's political crisis was over, state party chief Pratibha Singh declared how her party might not stand a chance to even come close to BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls
Himachal Pradesh Assembly speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania disqualified the six rebel Congress MLAs and three independents who cross-voted during the Rajya Sabha resulting in the loss of Congress candidate Abhishek Manu Singhvi and the win of BJP’s Harsh Mahajan
In a post on X, Shivakumar stated, "There is absolutely no need to indulge in any hearsay, as I am confident that Congress Party legislators will be loyal to the party and stay put with the mandate that has been accorded to them."
As many as 15 BJP MLAs of Himachal Pradesh were suspended from the House by Assembly Speaker Kuldeep Singh Pathania on Wednesday allegedly for creating ruckus in his chamber.
Polling for Himachal Pradesh's lone Rajya Sabha seat began at 9 am on Tuesday and finished with Congress MLA from Chintpurni Sudershan Babloo casting the final ballot. The polling was quick, and all 68 members voted.
