Six rebel MLAs of Himachal Pradesh join BJP ahead of Lok Sabha elections 2024

Live Mint  

Six former Himachal Pradesh MLAs including Sudhir Sharma, Ravi Thakur, Inder Dutt Lakhanpal, Devendra Bhutto, Rajendra Rana, and Chaitanya Sharma on Saturday joined the Bharatiya Janata Party in the presence of Union Minister Anurag Thakur and State BJP chief Rajiv Bindal. The political crisis was triggered in Himachal Pradesh a few months back when these candidates voted for the Rajya Sabha elections in 2024. The rebel Congress leaders were camping in Uttarakhand's Rishikesh with three independent MLAs and 3 BJP MLAs and claimed that they would go back to the hill state only after the top court heard their plea against the disqualification. Apart from the humiliating defeat of Congress Rajya Sabha candidate Abhishek Manu Singhvi, the rebellion exposed the factionalism creeping in the Congress unit of Himachal Pradesh and displeasure against Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
