With the acceptance of the resignations of the three independent MLAs of Himachal Pradesh, it has become clear that by-elections are going to be held once again in the three assembly constituencies of Himachal Pradesh, Nalagarh, Dehra and Hamirpur.At present, the number of assembly members in Himachal Pradesh has reached 59.After the counting of votes in the by-elections of six assembly constituencies on Tuesday, June 4, the number of assembly members in Himachal Pradesh is going to become 65.
If reliable sources of Diary Times are to be believed, the Congress government of Himachal Pradesh has very wisely accepted the resignations of the three independents.If the resignations of the three independent MLAs of Himachal Pradesh were accepted before the voting of the Lok Sabha elections, then the voting process would have been completed in a total of 9 assembly constituencies of Himachal Pradesh on Saturday, June 1.If the Congress party loses all the six assembly by-elections in the results to be released on Tuesday, June 4, then the Congress party will definitely have another chance to remain in power by winning one seat in the by-elections to be held in the assembly constituencies of the three independent MLAs.
