Have challenged the decision in the High Court: Rana
Dismissed Congress MLA Rajinder Rana said that the decision of dismissal taken by the Assembly Speaker has been challenged in the High Court. Don’t do politics out of fear. There is confidence in the High Court that the decision will be beneficial.
Was in the assembly, has signed the register: Sudhir
Sudhir Sharma said that the doors of the High Court are open against the decision of cancellation of membership. Went to the Assembly yesterday (Wednesday), signed the register. The Assembly Speaker himself did not come to the House for one and a half hours. We did not receive any notice. Only one member has got it. The government is in minority.
Will challenge in High Court, voted due to neglect in the area: Lakhanpal
Indradutt Lakhanpal, who cross-voted in favor of the BJP candidate in the Rajya Sabha, said that the Congress party has given a candidate from outside in the Himachal Rajya Sabha elections. It would have been good if anyone from Himachal had been made a candidate. He said that there has been neglect regarding development in Nadaun assembly constituency. There has been no development work in their area.
Himachal leaders sidelined, candidates made from outside
Devendra Kumar Bhutto said that he has cast his vote while advocating the interests of the public in the election of Rajya Sabha member from Shimla seat. The Assembly Speaker has canceled the membership of the legislature. Ignoring the senior leaders of the state, a Congress candidate from outside the state was made the candidate for Shimla Rajya Sabha seat.
How many MLAs does which party have?
At present there are 62 out of 68 members left in Himachal Pradesh Assembly. Of these, Congress has 34, BJP 25 and three independent MLAs. Independent MLAs have supported BJP in the election of Rajya Sabha member. Even if he remains with BJP, BJP will have 28 members. That means the Congress government currently has the majority. To remain in the state government, 32 MLAs are required.
