Himachal Political Crisis: 6 Congress MLAs, Who Cross-Voted In Rajya Sabha Polls, Disqualified

News 18  

The six Congress MLAs, who cross-voted in favour of the Bharatiya Janata Party in Himachal Pradesh Rajya Sabha polls, have been disqualified from the state assembly. “Six MLAs, who contested on Congress symbol, attracted provisions of anti-defection law against themselves…I declare that the six people cease to be members of the Himachal Pradesh Assembly with immediate effect,” said Pathania. The political scenario in Himachal changed dramatically after the defeat of Congress candidate Abhishek Manu Singhvi in the Rajya Sabha elections due to cross-voting by nine lawmakers, including six from Congress and three Independents– who previously supported the Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu-led government. After the cross-voting, which led to the victory of BJP candidate Harsh Mahajan on the lone Rajya Sabha seat from the state, there was a question mark over the survival of the Sukhvinder Sukhu-led Congress government.
