The scene is changing every moment in Himachal Pradesh. The Sukhu government is stuck in the numbers game after the Rajya Sabha elections. Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu has said in front of observers Bhupendra Singh Hooda and Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivakumar sent by Congress that he is ready to resign from the post of CM if the high command asks.
Vikramaditya Singh, son of former Chief Minister late Virbhadra Singh, who was a minister in the Sukhu government, announced his resignation from the post of minister in a press conference before the commencement of the assembly proceedings. He also fiercely attacked his own party's government. The six MLAs who cross-voted in the Rajya Sabha elections a day earlier were also said to be from the same group. After the cross voting of the MLAs, Vikramaditya also came forward openly and accused the government.
Vikramaditya mentioned the hard work of his mother Pratibha Singh and Mukesh Agnihotri, who was the leader of the opposition in the assembly, for the victory in the assembly elections and alleged that the statue of Virbhadra Singh, whose name was used by the Congress to win the elections, was being installed. For this, two yards of land was not given on Mall Road of Shimla.
What is the number game in Himachal Assembly?
In the Himachal Pradesh Assembly, which has a total of 68 members, Congress has 40 MLAs and BJP 25. Three other MLAs, including two independents, were also supporting the Congress government before voting for the Rajya Sabha elections. In the changed circumstances after the Rajya Sabha elections, seven Congress MLAs including Vikramaditya have taken a rebellious attitude.
