Hindustan Times  

Hours after the Election Commission announced dates for the by-elections of the three assembly constituencies – Dehra, Hamirpur and Nalagarh, chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu hit out at the three Independent MLAs and questioned their intensions. They are free to extend their support to any political party, they could have supported the BJP if not the Congress,” he said, adding, “It’s a big question that three Independent MLAs were elected for a term of five years and they resigned midway. It’s also a question of whether they will now contest elections and want to be MLAs for another three years,” he said. Those Independents who resigned should have become saint or else have bid adieu to politics, but they did not do so, they sold their membership,” said Sukhu.
